My Story

23 Aug 2024

This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Over the past two years I have followed the story of Adrian Uribe and his courageous battle with childhood leukemia. Adrian is the son of a friend that I met while attending college in New Mexico many years ago. With a young child of my own it has been hard to fathom the hardships such a diagnosis can place on a family. I have been in awe of the Uribe family as they have banded together to support one another and their son through this journey. Because of their story I felt it was a great honor to be asked to take part in this simple, yet effective challenge.

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.

Thank you.

    Trying to find time between getting a ride in, avoiding the afternoon heat, and other family obligations. So this morning it was an early get up and on the smart trainer. I rode the Worlds Course in Richmond Virginia. Hopefully next weekend I can get out more.

    Ride 3: No real destination today. I just wanted to get some miles in before it got too hot! 28 miles today which puts me at 103 for the challenge so far. So a lot of just wandering about the Spring Lake Neighborhood. One thing that did catch my attention today was seeing the Sacramento skyline. Not always very visible from Woodland but you could just make it out on the horizon. Seeing a city skyline on the horizon like that always makes me think of The Wizard of Oz.

    Ride 2: Another ride through the country roads surrounding Woodland. This time I headed to the Northwest and out to Cache Creek where I can find a few small hills. Passed many more tomatoes on this ride but thankfully no puncture today.

    I completed my goal for the weekend of 75 miles, now to recover and plan out the routes and locations for rides next weekend, while maybe sneaking in a short recovery ride during the week either outdoors or via Zwift.

    Thanks again to everyone supporting me during this adventure!

    1 Sep 2024

    Ride 1: local ride around Woodland and Davis, CA for 41.5 miles. This time of year tomato fields are being harvested throughout the region. Truck after truck piled high with fresh tomatoes heading to various local canneries. This often results in numerous tomatoes strewn along the roadsides. Not the worst obstacles to deal with while on a bike ride…

    Also on this ride, skydivers at the local Yolo County airport, short gravel sections along the Putah Creek levee, and a late puncture due to a large industrial staple.
