Children’s Cancer Ride – Rolling Into Week 3

Well folks, I’ve officially pedaled my way through 123 miles of this 250-mile ride. That’s right — I’m past the halfway mark. My legs are somewhere between “Tour de France hero” and “old man yelling at clouds.”

So what’s left? Just 127 more miles. Piece of cake, right? Except the cake is made of asphalt, sweat, and me cursing at hills that seem to get taller every damn day.

But here’s the thing — every push on those pedals matters. Every sore muscle, every groan when I sit down on a hard chair, it’s all for something bigger than me: fighting childhood cancer. Those kids don’t get to tap out when it hurts, so neither do I.

If you’ve already donated, you rock harder than AC/DC on a Friday night. If you haven’t yet, well… consider this your guilt-trip wrapped in sarcasm. Toss a few bucks toward the cause — it’ll go further than my hamstrings ever will.

Now buckle up, because Week 3 is where I either become a legend… or a meme.

🚴week 2: Rolling Strong, Closing in on 100 Miles 🚴

Two weeks down, and the legs are starting to get that familiar burn that says, “Yeah, you’re doing something that matters.” I’m closing in on 100 miles in my ride for children’s cancer, and while the saddle time is no joke, it doesn’t compare to what these kids face every single day. That’s why I keep pedaling forward.

This week had its share of sweat, heavy legs, and a few mental battles, but every turn of the crank is fuel for the bigger mission: raising awareness and support for children fighting cancer. Heading into week 3, the momentum is there, the miles are stacking up, and the finish line at 250 miles is looking a little closer.

If you’ve already supported this cause—thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’re part of this ride. If you haven’t yet, there’s still plenty of road left to jump in and make a difference. Every little bit adds up, just like every mile on the bike.

Onward to week 3. Let’s keep those wheels turning.
