With the first long weekend of August being a long one, I took full advantage of that and the great weather. 101 kms down and 199 kms to reach my goal. I will definitely try to exceed that! The way I look at this challenge, is no matter how tired and hard it may get for me, it pales in comparison to the struggles the kids with cancer go through. I am grateful for the opportunity to help make a difference no matter how small.
I ride to help raise money for kids cancer research and treatments. I started doing this when a friend of mine who rode every year in this challenge, asked me to take her place when she became too sick with cancer herself to continue riding. I chose to carry on her legacy.
