Why I Ride: Alaska Airlines Courage Classic Bicycle Tour

In two weeks, approximately 461 bicyclists will ride Snoqualmie, Blewett and Stevens passes in a three-day, 173-mile ride through the Cascades for the 22nd Alaska Airlines Courage Classic.

This will be my twentieth year riding this spectacular event. It serves as an inspiration for me to keep challenging myself to pursue my personal fitness goals throughout the year.
