Long story short I picked it up again about 6 years ago when I was going through a difficult time in my life. My bike became my therapist. It started out with short rides a few times a week and grew from there,” she shared. “I have since competed in numerous races and usually ride 4-6 times/week mostly for pleasure. My longest solo ride to date has been 350kms; yes, it was all in one day!”

Piccoli says she is always up for a challenge and this ride will challenge her like nothing she’s ever done before. “I have been, and still am, putting in countless hours of training, to be able to complete this epic ride. Anytime I struggle, I merely have to think of what these kids are going through and that puts everything into perspective for me and I quickly realize, I have nothing to complain about.”

So far, she’s raised just over $1,800 of her $5,000 goal. Let’s infuse some good old fashioned Paris generosity into her cause and help Piccoli reach – if not exceed - that goal.
