We would like to introduce Gillian Blake who is the Captain of the Message Crew!
Gillian writes-
Bucket list. The ACT Ride had been on my bucket list for years. My name is Gillian Blake. I am the new Massage Crew Captain. I don't remember when I first heard about the Ride, but it circled in my brain for years before I finally did it. ACT 8 was my first ride. '8' is my favorite number, so I took it as a sign that this was the year. I trained and went on the ride on my own. It was intensely hard work for me. I was exhausted every day. I rode mostly with the caboose (just like it sounds, the back of the pack...strong riders who make sure everyone makes it). Met some wonderful, and encouraging people. Everyone was so friendly, and all my needs were attended to. If it weren't such a personal challenge for me, it would have been like a vacation.
I'm pretty sure that the Massage Crew pulled me thru the ride. By the end of the four days, the ride felt like a friendly small town. I would have had to work hard to NOT feel welcome. When I returned to the ride for ACT 10, I went as a member of the Massage Crew. I had graduated from the massage school that was supporting the ride (TIBIA). It was the natural place to join in. The fun I had as a rider was multiplied as a member of the crew. It was more than rewarding and fun, it was an amazing experience. I left that ride feeling like I wanted to be more involved. I applied and was invited to join the Steering Committee for ACT 11. I am now the Massage Crew Captain.
TIBIA will no longer be providing massage therapists for the ACT Ride. Instead, the non-profit group CAPW (Creating a Peaceful World) will be contributing their massage therapists (many of the same therapists from TIBIA are volunteers for CAPW); and Healing...Inspirations is offering $50.00 massages to everyone registered for ACT 11 (238-7468).
I'm excited to be a part of ACT 11, and I look forward to the new adventure ahead.

Questions about training?
The ACT Ride Website is chock full of great training tools and tips. Simply go to www.actride.org, click on Participate, then Rider and you will find links on how to buy a bike to hydration and safety. The search bar on the left side of the screen is also a handy way to search by topics, such as "training plan" or "hill climbing". Anything you can think of, there's probably an article on the website to help answer your questions.

Massage changes for ACT 11: TIBIA Massage School and Healing Center, which have provided massage therapists for the ride, have changed significantly since last August. Massage students will no longer provide services because the Massage School is no longer offering a massage program. CAPW (Creating A Peaceful World), the non-profit organization will now coordinate massage volunteers for ACT 11. You will see many familiar faces because many of the same players are still involved.
The owners of Healing...Inspirations Wellness Center (formerly TIBIA Healing Center), will continue to contribute to the ACT Ride. The Center is at the same location as the previous business, 6225 University Ave. Suite 202, Madison, WI. It will offer everyone registered for ACT 11 the discounted rate of $50.00 per massage through the end of the year. Please call 608-238-7468 to schedule.
We are excited about ACT 11, and can’t wait to spend four fabulous days with all of you.

Are you a vegetarian? Our cooks are looking for ideas on vegetarian food options during the ride. We will do similar themed nights as we have in years past, such as a mexican night and a pasta night, but would love your input on how we can improve your dining experience during the ride!
