I'm Riding For

Tim, Pam, Earl & many more

Cancer is an ugly word. It is scary for adults. Think how much more so for children. This is my 6th year riding to fight cancer. Thank you to my supporters from previous years, and another thank you to all of you have helped support me this year. I am not sure we will ever completely beat cancer, but I believe we must try.

My Story

18 Aug 2026

This September I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer for my third year!

Cancer is brutal. It has claimed the lives of several people in my family, and more are living with cancer today. The thought of kids dealing with cancer is heartbreaking to me.

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.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.

My Challenge

  • Rain rain….
    15 Sep 2026

    I might be moving to indoor riding on the TAC-X trainer. Rain all week on the forecast, and with more flooding around downtown and sand washed across roads the road bike might not be a good idea.

    I’ll check the roads again tomorrow, and maybe take the mountain bike.

    KRQE news has a story in the evening news.

  • Chilly morning and a wheel swap
    11 Sep 2026

    Wednesday morning I caught one of the dreaded goat-head thorns in the side of my front tire. IT went flat about 1/2 mile from the end of the ride. I pumped up the tire and rode it, then changed the tube at work over lunch.

    Riding home Wednesday afternoon I saw the city had been mowing the weeds all along Route 66, leaving the fallen growth all over the shoulder of the road. This was not a short little bit, but about 3 miles from the Munoz Overpass to the west end of the airport. They also had the middle lane closed for patching potholes. Traffic was forced to the edge of the right lane/shoulder. I had no way to swerve around the bigger clumps of weeds and grass. I wasn't overly surprised that my back tire was flat this morning when I was ready to ride.

    I quickly swapped out the back wheels (I have a second wheelset) and will change the flat later this weekend.

    My riding speed was a bit slow. I blame the colder weather making my muscles a bit tight. The reality is I am just old and fat. But hey, the cold as an excuse sound better.
