I'm Riding For
Hendrix!
5-year-old Hendrix is an energetic, baseball-loving little man who has been fighting leukemia for the last 2.5 years.
My Story
Great Cycle Challenge offers flexibility for ALL riders! Set your own goals as to donations and distance and you have the entire month of August to book your rides. I myself am not an avid, full time rider, so I love that it's open to all levels. Because this is my ninth year I was offered the opportunity to be a "Champion" for the third straight year, which means I will help promote the program and recruit new riders. Please join me for an opportunity to do something for the kids! Also, keep an eye out for me selling delicious Purdys chocolate bars to raise funds. Over the past 8 years I have ridden 3,608 km and raised a total of $22,904. A few years back, 2019, I was diagnosed with cancer and still in the battle, but kids should not be battling cancer. They should be enjoying a healthy childhood. So please donate and participate.

Thanks for all the donations. The kids and I really appreciate the support
1 Sep 2025Well the ride is over for another year. This year was one of the best for donations to kick cancer's butt. I am amazed at the amount of money and support I get from friends and family. I am pleased to announce that this year's total is $4,000! OMG..... I managed to ride 593 KMs beating my goal of 500. I'm pooped, especially after the last ride of the month, 109 KMs. If you like riding a bike, you might want to sign up for next year's ride. You chose the distance you want to ride in a month using a bike, e-bike or stationary bike. And you chose your personal donation goal. I am not a cyclist. I only seem to ride in August for , just for the ride. Also, all ages of riders can participate.

First day, first ride
2 Aug 2025I like riding the PoCo trail because it is about 90% removed from traffic and you see lots of people! I got 52KMs in today, as there is a 3 hour parking limit and I wasn't exactly burning up the trail. It was the first time out with my bike since last August and didn't want to overdo it. It's not too late to join up, it's free!
