Why I ride
Well, this is the 36th time I've participated in the CC and many of you have donated many times, some all 35 so far! I'm one of about 12 "Founders" who have participated in all the CCs.
This year will be different for me as I've had a tough start to 2025: covid, then atrial fibrillation followed by acute Sciatica! Yuk. Two days before the ride, I have a heart intervention procedure (ablation) and can not ride. So, I will stay with Doris who continues to be a road marshal.
I will continue to participate in the Courage Classic and hope you will too. The heart docs say I can ride again but must take a long time to get in condition. Maybe next year I can ride. May be not. We'll see.
So, as usual, Doris and I have made the base pledge necessary to ride. Anything you donate are bonus bucks. I realize times and priorities change. But it all goes to the Children's Hospital so thanks for anything you can donate.
