My Story

2 Aug 2023

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

Why? Because right now, over 1,700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada.

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.

Jen

My Challenge

  • 1.1 km ride - Back from school. - Thursday, September 5, 2024

    1 Sep 2024

    Added the extra 2 km on just to be sure. Those 2 were done on level 5, they went way faster than the previous 6. Total time for this last ride was 1hr 46min, and it turned the stride counter over!

    Thank you all for the encouragement and for believing in the cause, Dad and myself. If you feel up to it, please join us next year on the ride. Our team is called "The Westside" and we're always looking for new members.

    All the best ❤️jen

    30 Aug 2024

    So apparently 6ish km is the sweet spot for an outdoor ride. Had to take it easier on the tension today, so 2 recumbent rides.

    Almost there...

  • Evening 27th recumbent.
    28 Aug 2024

    Got back too late for outdoors, so recumbent it is!

    Top number is strides, bottom is km.

    K at top denotes km unit. It's a good little compact. Best home workout piece I ever purchased! It's hard to see the decimal in the 6.00 but it's there. It took 1hr and 21 min on level 4.

    Oops, the top number you can't see 9379 "strd"

    Evening 27th recumbent.

    27 Aug 2024

    So...apparently, when in middle gear on the front sprocket and alternating between 3 and 4 on the back, I'm cycling with a running cadence?!!!

    It's starting to get pretty windy out there. Stay safe, everyone!

    Lots of smaller rides today.

    From Brock Auto, then to Brock Auto. Those folks ROCK by the way!!!

    Then, an evening ride once around Mac Island. Smaller rides seem to be the key, but it's slow going in low gears!!

    Eep..it's already the 26th.

  • Slow going...
    20 Aug 2024

    Thank you again, everyone, for donating to this amazing cause.

    Apologies for the slow going this year. It was amazing to get off the recumbent and ride outdoors, but unfortunately, I got a little too excited and didn't gear down, causing my achilies and knees to flare up again. I will finish in time this year, but I'll have to be smarter about it. I will try doing two smaller rides in a day and get those km's knocked out.

    Have fun and stay safe!!
