Good afternoon, friends! I just received my 3XL GCC jersey; unfortunately, it is too large for me. In years past, the jerseys fit tighter but I suppose I have lost more weight than I thought! If you have a 2XL and it feels too tight, would you be interested in trading with me?

Happy Match Day everyone! Congrats on kicking cancer's butt yesterday! There are 19 days left in September to wrap up your fundraising and mileage goals. I'm still chipping away at the 700 miles I've pledged. I think I'm just about recovered from pedaling across Virginia. Cheers!

Cheers Newport News!

With less than two weeks to go until the Challenge starts, everyone is gearing up for Tribute Day! This Wednesday, August 21st is Tribute Day! You should have received an email with your Timesquare billboard time slot. Super Exciting! I'd love to hear about your personal goals for the 2024 Challenge, whether that be mileage, funds raised, distance, elevation, whatever it may be! If anyone wants to get together for a group ride on the Capital Trail feel free to reach out. I frequent the Charles City Courthouse area often! See you on the bike.

As you pedal through miles and conquer challenges, remember that every rotation of your pedals brings us one step closer to a future free of childhood cancer. Your commitment to this cause is nothing short of inspiring, and we are honored to have you as the driving force behind this vital fundraiser.

The funds you raise will be a beacon of hope for families facing the unimaginable. Together, we can provide research funding and life-changing breakthroughs that will shape the future of these courageous young fighters.

So, gear up, pedal on, and know that each revolution of your wheels is a powerful stride toward a world where children can grow, laugh, and dream without the burden of cancer.

Hi Quinton, I’m just another rider wondering the same thing. I’ve poked around a bit only to find 1 team called Ace, and is posted right above this section. Thiss section is marked by a big orange band (on my phone) titled “Our Discussion Board” and the orange band preceding that is titled “Our Teams.”

Hello Quintin, For some reason I didn't get notifications of your post. There is not currently a team in the Hampton Roads area, though looking at the current members one could be organized if you want. It's encouraging to see so many locals getting involved!
