The first year I did GCC I hammered out my mile on the road. It was right after COVID and it had taken me months to even find a bike.
Last year, we were still displaced by Hurricane Ian. I got my bike tuned up but physically I just wasn’t in a space where I could ride.
Fast forward to this year-back in our home with some new health challenges. But in the meantime I discovered I could ride indoors either with my bike on a trainer or on my recumbent stationary bike. And I love being back doing some miles. The purpose of this wonderful event is to raise money to support research into childhood cancers but I think the participants benefit just as much. I know I have.
