No, I am not done with the Great Cycle Challenge for 2021. And tomorrow I’ll be back with more appreciation rides and of course asking for money.

I got the request in October, but quit riding mid November. Got back on the road again last week.

He did not expect to have cancer at 15. I thought it interesting that this is not the color green I expected ordering these flags.

These 150 miles were so easy. No rain, wind, snow, rude drivers, flats, or hills. Maybe the easiest miles I’ve ridden in years.

Usually ride in order that I get requests. Bud, however, is in hospice. That trumps all. Got a flat on this ride

Early morning ride. Rode away from dark clouds. When I turned around I saw this. David is fighting cancer

I’ve ridden for many survivors and fighters. John is right up there with the best of them. Not only did he relearn to walk after breaking his back in the late 80s

The Tour took a day off yesterday so I did today. Instead of riding for a contribution I rode for a young mom of 2 who is battling.

My first flag of the year and it is for someone who has a long row to hoe. Shawn is currently going through 18 weeks of chemo and immunotherapy BEFORE she has surgery.

Veteran of Desert Storm. Homeless. Moved. Employment. Prostate Cancer. Evan has been through a lot of stuff.

Yep, I am still riding. Yep, it is still indoors. Yep, there are still people to ride for. I got Dave’s name from an acquaintance from college. At the time Dave was not doing well.

When do you stop fighting cancer? While I am a long way from needing to answer that question for myself, Jeri and I have speculated on this many times over the years.

I have been working on this flag for almost a month now. It is not that do not have enough time in with it (I usually ride for 7 hours or 100 miles per flag).

My second all trainer flag. (They are going to all be like this for a while. Ha!) And this again was a great place to do it. I can see the sand but I do not have to touch it. Fantastic!
