VRide

Public Group active 2 hours, 56 minutes ago

We’ve moving to improve our health and make virtual visits to fellow family caregivers. Join us by taking action as often as you can (every day would be great). Ride your bike, pedal your stationary bike, walk, jog, take the stairs. Track your movement in our group’s forum and enjoy the ride as we make caregiving visits. In our forum, look for our current month and then add your day’s totals.

We’ve already visited Jane and Roaringmouse; Kathy is next. We’ll add virtual stops along our journey to enjoy some local sightseeting. We’ll add events to our calendar when we know the dates of a virtual stop and a caregiving visit.

Feel free to participate in our vRide blog and share about your activities. We’d love to read how our vRide impacts your day.

And, be sure to read ejourneys’ entries in our vRide blog. She’ll keep us posted on our progress and send postcards to us along the way.

Have fun!
