Longjohn ★ Posted September 1, 2022 Share #1 Posted September 1, 2022 Subject: My 400 mile challenge starts TODAY... Hi, This month, I am riding 400 miles in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer! And my challenge starts TODAY. Every 2 minutes, a child is diagnosed with cancer. More American children lose their lives to cancer than any other disease... Kids should be living life, not fighting for it. Please support my challenge now by making a donation through my fundraising page: https://greatcyclechallenge.com/Riders/JohnFleet/m All funds raised will support Children's Cancer Research Fund to develop treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer. Thank you. John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted September 1, 2022 Share #2 Posted September 1, 2022 What's the timeline? All of September? That's a nice amount of riding, especially if it is also gravel miles! You should join @JerrySTL for his Katy ride (isn't that coming up?). Like Goba, that'd be good miles every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

September 11-17. It's pretty expensive with hotels every night. https://www.bubbaspamperedpedalers.com/katy-trail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted September 1, 2022 I did 54 miles today. I have stuff to do tomorrow and I’m doing a 67 mile ride with over 3,000 of elevation gain on Saturday. The people that signed up for the “easy” 35 miler are going to have a rude awakening. The pavement markings are already out there and I hope they like climbing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted September 6, 2022 I’m doing pretty good on my riding. The rain isn’t helping. I remember going out last year when it was raining and I was just coming off chemo. I was determined. I talked my brother into going with me and riding one of my bikes. I wore a rain suit but my brother just wore a poncho. We had a good time, saw two waterfalls and rode through two tunnels. We did 25 miles that day and I could feel my strength coming back. My brother is not a cycalist but I was impressed with his riding. He said he didn’t want to do anymore rides that long, he was sore for a few days. Here is how I’ve done so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
