WOW… Day 21 already!!

This month is flying by and I can’t believe it’s already the 21st. With 10 days to go I’m at 785 km with only 215 km to reach my goal.

So far all of my rides have started and ended at home with the exception of rides on the Waubashene to Midland and Beeton to Thornton rail trails where I have to transport the bike there and back. The downside of all my local rides is that there are few new interesting photo opportunities, when I remember to even stop and take one 🙄.

Riding has been cooler the last couple of days, although I don’t mind when it’s hot…. I almost prefer it 🤪.

Well here’s to 21 days and 785 km!! Cheers!

Ten days in and feeling great!!

It’s Sunday August 10th and in spite of every day being exceptionally hot, I’ve managed to put 401 km of my 1,000 km goal behind me! I’ve pretty much met my fundraising goals which is an awesome tribute to my supporters.

Every time I’m out there riding I can’t help but think about the thousands of children that we are doing this for. Many of them would give anything to be able to join us.

My health has also improved dramatically. At this time last year I was really struggling with low energy, and severe weight loss and knew I was incapable of meeting my goal. Then 3 weeks later I was in hospital with a diagnosis of Crohns Disease. Thankfully, I was paired with an exceptional doctor who was also a cyclist and that helped us make a connection. I’m glad to say we that my treatments following that diagnosis have brought me to where I am today….. after a minor setback following another hospital stay for a gallbladder attack and subsequent removal 🤪
