Nikki Caldwell - A Bruin!

By now I am certain that you have heard the news......My riding partner is the new Head Women's Basketball Coach at UCLA!! I am so very proud of her and know she is going to make a statement on the West Coast and across the country.

I do have mixed feelings. I am happy, but extremely sad for her to depart. I have worked with Nikki for the past 6 years. I understand that she is a great coach, but more importantly, she is a GREAT person. She has become one of my closest and dearest friends. I can't talk about her leaving without crying. But a know she is following a dream and our friendship will be forever.

Which brings me to our ride....Yea, Nikki is still committed to the ride and the cause. Didn't I say she was a great person! I hope the fans of UCLA will jump on board and help fund our ride. We need you!!

Tampa was SPECIAL

How was the National Championship....AWESOME! What a tremendous display of heart and determination!!!! Nicky Anosike was such a key to our performance. She is a great leader and her intensity was incredible. Every one of our players stepped up at the right time!

With the end of the season, women's basketball lost two great players....Sylvia Fowles and Candice Wiggins. Their influence on their respected teams was so revealing. Great competitors and a class act after the game. I know they will do a great job in the WNBA.

What was the first shirt that I saw in the crowd during our open practice? A Cruisin For a Cause Shirt! Unbelievable!! We are getting the word out against breast cancer. I hope you will continue to support us and help our fight.
