My Story

17 Jul 2021

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

Why? Because right now, over 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support SickKids Foundation to allow them to continue their work in developing treatments and finding 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.

    What a beautiful day for a ride, 60 km to the 12th line of Oro Medonte. It was shady and peaceful lots of GCC riders, the return home was super hot once I arrived on Ardaugh!

    Ran out of water, coconut water and apples on the 20 km

    To go mark! It is high tea today at my place so I am off to enjoy high tea with my bestie!! Stay tune as I finish off August for this wonderful cause!

    To the 12th line and back!!

  • Hi everyone
    10 Aug 2024

    Hello and I hope this message finds you well.

    I am excited to start my riding today, it was a delay start as my pappy (step dad) has been fighting some major health issues and has needed extra support and care! It is our little people and elders that we must make time for even when we return to normal it seems we are a little piled up, but caring for these two generations make life special!

    Cycling is a passion of mine and I look forward to setting my August goals.

    Thank you for all your support and keep checking in on my journey.

  • Bring it in HOT
    28 Jul 2024

    It was toasty today, and I took the Ardaugh loop a couple of times for this quick ride to pack in some Kms and fitness!! Go legs go!!

    Ride with chap stick or a similar brand and keep hydrated before during and after!!

    2nd time a bug flew up behind my sun glasses DAM!! This is the moment your emergency sensors kick in on the road at a good speed and eye fly trapped!

    So far so good!

    July was a beautiful month and looking forward to August!

    Thanks for checking in.

  • Map my Ride 🚴🚴🚴🚴
    5 Jul 2024

    First couple of rides in this week and it feels good to be back on the bike and taking in some of our beautiful summer.

    My first ride I tracked my ride using “Map my Run” it tracked the KMs but pace was all off. Second ride, tracked using “May my Ride” and it was set for the indoor ride!! At least I knew my kms as this is a regular ride I take part in yearly and I know where my 5, 10, and 2, km markers are to tally up my kms for ride two.

    It is all good and a small hick up to a fun and rewarding journey!

    The weather is amazing!

    When riding out there! Be the leader in safety! Don’t take risks and or ride through stop signs or lights! Make that stop!

    Let cars turn first and keep an eye out for the little humans when riding through busy areas!
