The 2026 Great Cycle Challenge is Around the Corner!!!

Tuesday, September 1st is the start of the Great Cycle Challenge and my 10th year of participation.

I’ll be honest with all ya, I am approaching this year’s challenge with a different mindset. I have a lot of ideas in trying to stay motivated and shoeing my appreciation of your support over the years. I want this to be a banner year in donations, but I also realize times are challenging as they have been it seems for a long time now.

Any help from you, whether it is a donation large or small is appreciated. If you can’t support with a donation, even just a message of support and encouragement, especially to the kids fighting cancer each and every day means the world to them and me.

I am going to attempt something a bit different this year. 10 rides for 10 years of participation. Each ride will be unique in location. I want to highlight the beauty and adventure that can be found, discovered and experienced while being on a bike. In truth, I have never liked taking selfies of my self on the bike. It is not about me. I want it to be about the adventure being experienced.

Maybe one child or many will find joy and happiness in a moment in their day while fighting to live and be free from this horrible and ugly disease in seeing some beautiful scenery instead of my goofy face.

I am looking at the month of September and the challenges I face. Not only about physically being on the bike, but the mental challenges too. Staying motivated, etc. But my challenges are absolutely NOTHING compared to the fight and challenges that each kid fighting cancer faces each moment of their lives.

I’ll end with this, THANK YOU for all the years of support with donations and encouragement. I THANK YOU in advance to the start of this year’s challenge. I hope it will be the best ever.
