San Luis Obispo, CA – Bike Ride on August 24th – The second annual Central Coast Classique, a 30, 64, and 100 mile bike ride supports two local non-profits: Creative Mediation, part of Wilshire Community Services, and SLO LEAF, the San Luis Obispo Law Enforcement Assistance Foundation.

I grew up in San Luis Obispo. It was an idyllic and active childhood thanks to my amazing parents. I was one of those kids whose parents would literally tell me go outside and play until dinner. This resulted in frequent tromps all around Bishop Peak where I invariably got muddy at the pond. It also included daily trips to the SLO Swim Center for swim practice. The smell of chlorine wafting over the pool on a summer morning makes me want to dive in and crank out a few 1000 meters (time has allowed me to romanticize those killer workouts).

Hosted by Chalk Mountain Golf Course Sept. 28

Running a marathon is hard for any human being. Novice or elite athlete. It requires months of training and a willingness to push through 26.6 miles of pain and exhaustion with the reward of having someone put a medal around your neck. It’s an endeavor that most people have zero desire to undertake. However the process and experience is a commonality that all marathoners share regardless of their age or skill level.
