One such Boob Rider is Pete Gerrard, from the Irvine Cycling Examiner and Irvine Bicycles. Not only has Peter ridden the ride for several years, but his shop has […]
Cycling, saddles, and urology?
While our focus has traditionally been on cancer and cycling, The Boob Ride is interested in general health (and cycling). We know that saddles, saddle-soreness, and urology topics have come up in certain cycling circles as well. Therefore, we’ve decided to share this study with you. We’ve recently been contacted by the researchers at the University […]
New Bra for King of the Mountain Award
After seven long years, the King of the Mountain award has had a little work done. It wasn’t just a little nip here or tuck there, it was a total overhaul!

Hereditary cancer – do you want to know?
After being involved with breast cancer awareness for many years, I made the decision to go in for hereditary cancer screening at Hoag.

High fiber, healthy melons?
High fiber ain’t just for all us old people! Young women with a high fiber diet have a lower incidence of breast cancer. I know many of us struggle to figure out what constitutes a healthy diet. Many times a study is published that exalts something like “dark chocolate is good for you”, only to disprove or cast doubt […]
One Giant Cancer Struggle

I have the trifecta of bad luck in that I have a history of breast cancer on both sides of my family, I am now 40, and I have dense breasts. Unfortunately, having dense breasts means that regular mammography screening is insufficient for me. […]
