My Story

28 Sep 2025

This September, I am once again participating in the Great Cycle Challenge to raise funds for children's cancer research.

Cancer remains the leading cause of disease-related deaths among children in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed each year, and unfortunately, 38 children die from cancer every week.

Supporting the Children's Cancer Research Fund enables them to continue developing treatments for childhood cancer. Donations contribute to providing these children with more comfortable todays and better futures.

Your contribution will help support the cause and encourage my participation in the challenge.

Thank you.

I’m happy to report, that my hundred mile cycling commitment has been accomplished. This last ride, although one of the shorter ones, was one of the most grueling. Seems like I’m coming down with something. I know that a viral bronchitis strain is running around the area so it could be that. This past month has had challenges, all in all it was good to get out there for a good cause. Not sure what the future holds, but I do plan to keep cycling. These last couple years of doing this challenge has gotten my head back into that space. Most likely I won’t do it as often as this past month, but I figure if I get out at least once a week for a few miles. That’s a good thing. For those of you who have been on the fence about donating, you have a couple days left. Either way, thank you all for your support by words thoughts, prayers and funds to the cause. With that I bid you all adieu.

Few. Then late morning ride today. Rode down to Kings ferry in Verplank. Longest ride yet at just under 17 miles. I’ve done yet in one shot. Lots of hills up and down. Very scenic route. In the bright sunlight, my eyes were taking a beating even with shades. Despite the potholes and curbs that I hit, I made it unscathed. Probably do one to two more rides to finish up my commitment of 100 miles total. All in all, it’s been a great month of riding.

Today was warm and muggy just after a rain storm and just before another one rolls in. But got out there and squeezed a couple miles in. Had some rough spots but made it through OK. Looking forward to the next ride.
