My Story

26 Jun 2025

This September, I am once again participating in the Great Cycle Challenge to raise funds for children's cancer research.

Cancer remains the leading cause of disease-related deaths among children in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed each year, and unfortunately, 38 children die from cancer every week.

Supporting the Children's Cancer Research Fund enables them to continue developing treatments for childhood cancer. Donations contribute to providing these children with more comfortable todays and better futures.

Your contribution will help support the cause and encourage my participation in the challenge.

Thank you.

Taking It Easy

4 Sep 2025

So went out for a little bit longer ride today. Trying to take it easy and ease myself back into it. Get my butt cheeks in shape so I can handle the longer rides without so much residual pain afterwards. Gonna try and build up to 5 to 10 miles on average per day. The backup bike is holding up well. Just gotta do some more fine-tuning on the gears and the shifters. Tire held out. Seat wasn’t too bad given the short ride. Figure if I stick to midday hours traffic won’t be so bad on the busier roads. All in all feeling good about this challenge.

First rTide Challenge

3 Sep 2025

So gone on a bike and decided to do my first real ride today. Wasn’t looking to do anything crazy just maybe up to 5 miles. Basically to set the tone for 5 miles per day. got on the bike took a letter with me to throw in the mailbox and I headed out. What a beautiful day. Did about a mile and a half to the mailbox drop the mail and started doing some drills in the parking lot just to get familiar uncomfortable again. Started noticing my back tire fishtailing. As it turned out seemed I had developed a slow leak. Started heading back home. Got about a mile and the tire was too flat to ride. Had to walk back the last quarter mile. I’ll deal with the flat tomorrow morning and be at it again tomorrow afternoon. Maybe I’ll have better luck then.

First Test Rides For September 2025

2 Sep 2025

So tested out the bike today. need to do some minor tuneung up, but otherwise got options. First test couldn’t get it started for the timer and map. Second ttest only got timer started, but I think I accidentally turned it off right before I started as I was putting the phone away. Third was a charm. Got the timer and maps started kept going during the ride. Just rode around the property a little. If i average no more than 5 miles a day. That’ll keep me on track to make my hundred miles plus at the end of the month. My vision isn’t the best, but good enough to get by at these speeds. Just have to be hypervigilant on my left side. Gonna try and get out every day we’ll see if the weather cooperates.
