Team 63 - Kansas Rider

 

KS Rider

 

Hi.  My name is Marleen Parker and I live in Concordia, Kansas.  I'm an RN, work long shifts and don't get to ride as much as I would like.  I hope that signing up for the Distance Derby will give me an incentive to ride more in 2013.  I’m a trail rider, like camping and riding on weekends.  This picture (above) was taken several years ago at Kanopolis when I was a safety rider for a competitive trail ride.  

See you on the trails!

  5. What a beautiful day to ride! When I started out, the wind was whipping up and I seriously considered that I might be combining the sports of horseback riding and parasailing before I got done. But the wind died down and I had a lovely ride on Velvet. Miles today: 4.84, January total 11.24 miles.
