My Story

13 Aug 2025

2025 - my eleventh year riding in this challenge! Wow! I am finally at my goal weight and theoretically this should make the challenge easier. But September is literally the worst month to choose to do this. I don't ride on Saturdays, or the Jewish holidays. Or during hurricanes (hopefully we won't see any this year!) But I am determined to make this happen. Went on a "shakedown cruise" yesterday to make sure the equipment is still in good working order (mine and the bike's). So far so good! Will now be riding more frequently to build up endurance and hit the challenge head-on! Please consider supporting the cause, helping children with cancer and helping an aging Rabbi get some much-needed exercise. See you out there! - RC

Well, here we are at the end of August. Weather permitting, Labor Day morning will be my first official ride of this year's challenge as we open the month of September. I am not setting a target distance for this ride, and as I have nowhere in particular to be I will try to crank out some serious mileage as long as I can endure. Here's hoping the daily rains wait until afternoon when I am all done! Thankful for all your support as we begin another cycle (mind the pun) of bringing needed funds and awareness to a very worthy cause. Let's go!

The 2025 Great Cycle Challenge begins Sept 1st and I am "gearing up" to ride at least 100 miles again. My trusty steed is in good shape, and arguable so am I. Hoping you'll get on board "Team Rabbi Craig" as I cycle around town for a good cause. Won't you join in?
