My Story
This September, I am once again taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
This is my 7th year supporting this cause. It's not an easy thing for me to do, but I believe it is well worth the effort!! With your help, I've managed to raise more than $12,000 (and counting!)
Why do this? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So, I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. I've increased both my ride & fundraising goals this year to make this count!
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you for your support!!

Tales from the bike seat - GCC ride, day 4
13 Sep 2026Hi all,
Wanted to give you all a shout-out and say "Thank you!!" for the donations and support so far! It will take a day or two to tally the donations, but it looks like I'm going to be close to hitting my fundraising goal this year. This always blows my mind!
On my ride tonight, I reflected on a few things that I will share:
1. I was grateful for the opportunity to ride for a worthy cause
2. I have fantastic friends and support
3. I've learned enough turkey-talk during my 35 years in corporate America to convince the hens not to run out in front of me tonight
4. I need to start my ride a bit earlier (it got dark, and it was garbage day. Again.)
5. I tackled my "tough" hill early in the season - didn't lose!

Tales from the Bike Seat - GCC ride day 5
13 Sep 2026No rest for the wicked! I decided to try a new route today - I biked the Brown's Creek and Gateway state trails. Easy way to double my miles! Now I just need to do that 8 more times....

Tales from the bike seat - GCC ride, Day 6
13 Sep 2026Another pleasant valley Sunday! I didn't think it was possible, but there is a greater force out there, and it was needed to get my butt out of the chair and back onto the bike seat today - Now I'm a believer!
I get so much fan mail. Little Timmy from Roughpaw, IN writes, "Hey Mr. Ernie - are you crazy or something?" Ha ha ha, Little Timmy. No, not crazy - to keep the voices quiet in my head, I listen to music while biking (using safer, bone-conduction headphones, kids...have to hear the cars & moose coming!). Today I listened to a not-so-famous fab four. Perhaps you can guess from the scant clues I've somewhat cleverly woven into this posting.
Winona Minneapolis-Beckworth from Tempe, AZ writes "Hi Dann. Do you have any graphs of your progress this year?" Why, yes, Winona. What would a ride be without graphs? I look at this and I'm happy for the progress so far - but then I think, "Look out - here comes tomorrow!"
All in all, not a bad week...but still, just a stepping stone towards the final goal. Later!
