As many of you know, I love riding my bike.  Many of you also know that my family lost our son, Jonathan to SIDS in March of 2019.  In the time since then, biking has provided me with an outlet for my grief.  Time outdoors in the peace and quiet on my solo rides has provided me with time and space to think about life and feel my feelings. Riding with buddies, and having adventures has given me something to look forward to during tough moments.   I wear a lot of pink and blue clothing, the same colors as  the SIDS  and infant loss awareness ribbon as a tribute to Jonathan.  I'm fundraising and training for this 100 mile ride in memory of my son.

I've been in dedicated training for this ride since November 2022,   I have lost weight, gained strength, and built endurance.  I was waiting to go public with my ride until I felt like I was sure that I was ready for it.   This spring I rode 70 miles with 3 rest stops and felt ok at the end of it.  Twice this summer, I rode 50 miles nonstop eating only the food in my pockets and felt good afterwards and resumed training the next day both times.  These rides make me feel like I'm ready to ride 100 miles at the end of September.   The ride has 4 supported rest stops, so I will be eating and resting through out the day, and never really riding too far beyond my comfort level.   This confidence was hard earned, so I'm thrilled to share that I'm ready to ride, and ask for your financial support.

Thanks for your Support,

Adam
