Get Ready for Our Virtual Ride
Jan 5 2013 in Community Caregiving VRide, Spotlight by Denise
This morning on Your Caregiving Journey, Chris and ejourneys joined me for Table Talk to discuss our Community Caregiving VRide. You can listen to our show via the player below.
Our Community Caregiving VRide is about getting fit, staying motivated and making virtual visits to other family caregivers. Our Community Caregiving VRide will begin around January 18 (we’ll keep you posted; EJ hopes to have her stationary bike back from the manufacturer before January 18) and our first visit will be to Jane. Chris and ejourneys will map our route and determine when we’ll arrive at Jane’s home. When we arrive, we’ll enjoy a video chat (more details to follow).
How, you probably think, can I participate in something that seems to require lots of time and time out of the house? This is the beauty of the VRide; you create a work-out plan (walk, jog, bike ride, walk up and down your stairs) in your house and follow along our journey. It doesn’t matter what you do–it only matters that you join with us every day to enjoy a physical activity. And, together, we’re moving to visit a family caregiver.
Want to join us? Great! Just start moving and look for more details about our official start date. You can blog about your vRide here, too. Want us to visit you? Great! You can send a private message through the site to myself or Chris or ejourneys.
Thanks so much to Chris and ejourneys for spearheading this wonderful project. I’m so looking forward to our Community Caregiving VRide!

Hi you all, I want to join! I have decided “ENOUGH!” I need some exercise and to lose much excess weight. I hope to buy a stationary bike but otherwise or until then? I will do some DVD exercises or walking around the house. Please keep me in mind! I also want to meet you all in a virtual visit! What fun and great way to be healthy! It is about time I did this and this is the perfect “vehicle for it!”

Dear Denise, Chris, and ejourneys, I just bought my own stationary bike. My Mom woke up – well I WOKE her up because it was already 11:30am!! – and I asked her if I could borrow $500. She said, “Sure!” Not even asking me for what or anything. Wow! She’s a really nice Mom no? And now? It is suppose to arrive by January 17th so I’ll be all set to go! Onward! Oh yes! ejourneys? I hope you like IHOP!
