The Ride- Delayed Post

Well, it has officially been over 2 months from The Ride, and I have neglected to post a re-cap update since!
There has been a lot going on.... mainly that we got married! Yes, that is right, on September 17, I married the most amazing man and became Mrs. Lianna Durney.
But before that, at the end of July we returned to Vermont and once again had a fabulous Time. We had a turnout from the New York Crankees and together as a team we raised over $100k. Amazing!
The ride was a personal best for me! I spent time riding with Lewis Runnion, Aly Levine and Brian Rafferty and when we hit the 100 mile mark, we had just over 6.5 hours of Bike time. We minimized our breaks and maximized our speeds! together we Rocked out the course and had an amazing accomplishments! Aly completed her firs Century ride, showered and returned to work to put on the best of the best Ride Program as usual.
This program, challenge, event series has made such an amazingly positive impact on my life. I have learned more about my diabetes than ever before. I have set and accomplished more personal challenges than ever before and I have met some of the most amazing people that I know will be a life-long part of my life! I can honestly say that finding The Ride program not long after moving across the country has made me feel at home. It has given me a sense of belonging and self in a new and different place. I am grateful for this and the people that make this happen.

It is starting to get cooler in New York and as time passes the bike will be shelved for the winter- I cannot wait to get started next year on my 3rd year of Ride to Cure and to see what lies a head for us!
