Thank you.
9 Oct 2026
Well, the Great Cycle Challenge for 2026 is complete - it is truly a privilege to be able to have ridden in this challenge. Thank you to all who have donated towards this worthy cause of defeating childhood cancer. Thank you also to the friends and family who have sent words of encouragement throughout this challenge. Finally, a special thanks to my wife who drove me to / from the bike shop on numerous occasions, met me for lunch in Broadview and Belfry and just generally put up with my lengthy rides and the ensuing “stats reviews” afterwards. While my ride / challenge is complete, it is not lost on me that the challenge for these kids and their parents continues - I pray for peace, comfort and miraculous healing for these children and their families. I also look forward to another Great Cycle Challenge next September to continue the fight. 🫡

No Quitting
25 Sep 2026
A long ride today - my longest ever. I felt like quitting, I felt like giving up … the last ten miles were frustrating with exhaustion & traffic. Today’s ride is dedicated to my Dad, my mother-in-law and step mother-in-law who are all battling their own health issues. While none are cancer, they are all significant, challenging and frustrating in their own right. I was frustrated and challenged today, but at the end of the ride, I put my bicycle away and was able to put the frustration behind me knowing that I conquered the challenge. These loved ones, can’t put their ailments aside at the end of the day, and, on many days, feel more frustrated, downtrodden and defeated when they put their head on the pillow at night. My heart and my prayers go out to them for healing, for comfort, for peace and for daily victories. Same for the children suffering from cancer and their parents … prayers to all - every ride, no matter who it is specifically dedicated to, is for them.
