The 2026 Great Cycle Challenge has ended as of September 30th, but donations will be accepted through the end of October.
My family and friends never cease to amaze me! Thanks to my endearing family and friends, we have managed to set yet another fundraising goal this year! Together, we’ve contributed $7312 DOLLARS, and I’ve ridden 918 miles over 21 days!!!!
Thank you so very much for sharing in my passion to support Children’s Cancer Research by making your contributions, offering your kind words for inspiration, and a special thanks to those of you that also share your time with me on the road pushing pedals!!!! Special thanks in this regard to Laura and Gilles, and my little buddy Ellison.
I am in awe of the amazing things that we have accomplished for this charity, not only this year, but of all 11 years that I have participated. Until children receive treatments that will help cure their cancer, I will continue my passionate pursuit for this charity for as long as I am able. Until then, please take good care!!!!
We are having another successful year in raising funds for Children's Cancer Research. My wonderful friends and family have stepped up once again, specially making note of matching day, and as a result we are very close to another record setting year!
Beyond that, I have logged 583 miles to date, and I'm not finished riding for the month yet. This event is always a stimulator to get out and ride more and it is good prep for my trip to Scotland coming up soon in which my friend Andrew and I will be tackling the Bealach amongst some other memorable rides.
Through it all, most of my rides have been in the good company of my friend Laura who is also participating in the challenge. Seems there is always something memorable about our rides, like the inability to follow the Montreal bike path to meet up with our friend Gilles. Even after meeting up with Gilles and getting better directions for our return trip to the car, I managed to get us lost again! Of course, it did accumulate miles for GCC which is a part of our goal anyway. It was certainly nice to get in a few miles with Gilles while in Montreal. He's always good to draft!!
I'm not certain at this point, just how many miles I'll accumulate for this year's challenge. There's still plenty of time left to ride in September and there's still time for you to consider a donation to support Children's Cancer Research. It's my once a year ask for a cause that I am passionate about supporting.
Scroll through the rides and have a look at some of the photos I've added. Looking forward to adding some more epic miles on the bike to support this cause and in the good company of Laura, Gilles, and anyone else that cares to share some miles with me!
Thanks for your wonderful support!!!! You guys are precious!!
