What possesses a 63-year-old woman to undertake a 525-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles? A very good cause for starters. Luella Wagner had heard of this long-distance ride to raise funds for the Arthritis Foundation, which supports programs and treatment for people of all ages living with this condition. A 525-mile ride is not a walk in the park, however. Luella had to train for months, building up her strength and endurance in order to meet the physical challenges necessary to meet her goal.

She also needed a professional-level bike. No spoilers here, but she acquired one in a very unusual way. Beyond doing good, this trip through the coastline of our beautiful state took her over mountains, through valleys, vineyards, quaint charming towns.....In short, "the ride of a lifetime." Perhaps the best part of this journey was the friendships she made. In this lively multimedia presentation, Luella invites you to join her on a grand adventure.

Luella Wagner is a writer and performer. She received a Master's Degree in Educational Theatre from NYU and a Teaching Credential from UCLA. She created a previous well-received show, Bloom Where You Are Planted, and produced and directed a prize-winning documentary, We Shall Survive.

All proceeds from California Coast Classic benefit the Arthritis Foundation.
