Ride #4 ... "Like butter..."

Yesterday, Helga and I rolled a lot smoother thanks to some tire TLC (turns out hub ribbons are a real thing… who knew? 😅). We knocked out 51.25 more miles, bringing me to 156.96 total—only 43 miles left to hit my 200-mile goal!

Now here’s where you come in: while I pedal toward the finish, I’d love to see our fundraising goal catch up too. Every donation—whether it’s $1, $10, or $100—helps kids fight cancer through the Children’s Cancer Research Fund. It’s not “per mile,” just a one-time gift that makes a huge impact.

Let’s crush cancer together—one mile, one dollar, one child’s future at a time. 💪

Back up and running...or cycling.

🚴‍♂️ Helga’s back on the road! After a week in my shop, she’s patched, tuned, and “strong like bear.” 🐻

We knocked out 36.61 miles today, but I’ve got more miles (and dollars) to make up. We’re stuck at $129—still $371 shy of the $500 goal. Every bit helps kids fighting cancer. Let’s push this number higher! 💛💪

GCC RIDE #2... (Time for quick repairs)

Thursday’s ride went MUCH better—I nearly doubled Tuesday’s mileage with 46.5 miles! Felt strong, spirits high… and then my back tire decided to remind me who’s boss. Yep, ANOTHER flat.

This time, no long walk of shame home—I came prepared. But still, “Helga” (that’s my bike) is getting a short break while I order fresh tubes, new tires, and a few other goodies to keep us rolling.

Here’s the deal: I may be battling flats, but kids with cancer are fighting something much tougher. Will you join me in this fight? Every donation, big or small, helps fund research and gives kids a chance at hope. Just tap the "Donate Now" button.

Together, we can kick cancer’s butt!

I usually ride... today I walked.

Ride 1 of the Great Cycle Challenge:

I set out to ride 50 miles, but at mile 22… flat tire. 🚴‍♂️💨 No problem—I had tools and a spare. Except my wrench was useless, so the last 2+ miles turned into a walk back to my car. And since cycling cleats aren’t the best walking shoes, the trek was barefoot. 🦶😂 Not quite the epic start I had in mind.

But here’s the thing: tires can be replaced. Kids fighting cancer don’t get that option. 💛 That’s why I’m riding all September—to raise funds for the Children’s Cancer Research Fund and give kids a fighting chance.
