• The final stretch
    27 Sep 2026

    Yesterday I was blessed to be able to ride the Virginia Creeper trail again. The upper portion has not yet reopened after the devastation of Helene two years ago, so I rode from Abington to Damascus and back.

    After the Va Creeper, Sarah and I were able to visit with our daughter Rachel at ETSU before returning home.

    After this morning’s ride, I am now only 29 miles from my mileage goal of 400 miles for the month. Thank you all for your support this month. It has been a heck of a ride.

    This month has not started as I would have liked. I had nearly a week of stomach pain that prevented me from riding as much as I wanted to. My doctor could not determine the cause, but thankfully I have recovered.

    September is halfway through and I am not quite at 50% of either my fundraising or mileage goals. But I am close to both. I promise to keep trying.

    Thank you very much for your support. It truly means a lot to me.
