My Story
Late to the start, this month (September), I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
3rd year in a row, thanks to you guys each year we’ve raised more and ridden more!
A week behind, I’m hoping for 100mi in 2024 and to raise $2,500
Whatever YOU DONATE I WILL MATCH-Dollar for dollar up to my goal..meaning we could raise $5k!!!
Why? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.

Final? Ride
28 Sep 2024They said it wasn’t raining…they lied
But, in the hope that the weather might change I forged on to Whitehall MD to get the last 18mi in to reach my goal
Light rain, I sat in the car trying to decide just how bad I really wanted to get 18 in today…but, tis my commitment to both the donors and the kids…
Alas, the awesome tree-covered trail, kept the droplets at bay. And eventually no drops were falling at all
Took me 86min to go 11mi from Whitehall to New Freedom (you don’t SEE the elevation change, but it sure gets harder to pedal!)
But…going back it took less than hour for the same distance!!
Thank you all for pushing me!

Not the greatest of days
23 Sep 2024Was in Christiana (DE) for something, and decided to get my miles in
GPS took me to the Pomeroy “trail head”, I parked and began my ride
1. Trail is through UoDeleware campus: lots of student foot traffic on a Monday midday
2. Odometer on bike stopped working (had to go by my watch)
3. When the trail DID get to “woods”, it quickly ended with “closed due to maintenance” so I had to circumvent and navigate streets/cars/hills
4. It then started sprinkling
5. Got back to my car to find a $67 parking violation ticket. (Seems I was in a UoD parking lot and not “just” the trail head
Sigh. At least I got 8mi in

17 Sep 2024Gorgeous day, found myself in Timonium and only a couple miles away from the start of the Torry C Brown trail.
No afternoon plans, I decided to ride till I found a place to eat: seems most places on the trail are closed during the week, so at MM 11 I turned around
Still got 22.2mi in so I’m not complaining!
