As a born-and-raised Dutchman, it should shock exactly no one that I LOVE being on a bike. And of course, I’ve done my best to get my kids to love biking just as much… with, uh, very limited success so far. But despite my love for it, I’m actually not on a bike nearly as much as you’d think—or as much as I’d like to be.

So, when it came time to pick an activity for my **FROST RALLY** challenge, of course, I chose biking! And not just any ride—I’m aiming to bike the island of Manhattan!

But here’s the real reason I’m doing this: **It’s a fundraiser!**

Y’all know how much I love camp and how passionate I am about getting kids to camp. This ride is all about raising money for the Frost Valley scholarship program, making sure more kids get that life-changing camp experience.

Here’s the goal:

🚴 I want to raise **$1,500**

🚴 **I’ll match $1,000** in donations

🚴 **A family/employer match** will match that match

🚴 **A Frost Valley funder** will match the whole thing

🚴 **Total raised: $7,000!**

Everyone is welcome—adults, kids, close friends, camp friends, all of you! The suggested (but totally optional) fundraising goal is **$250 per person**. You can form your own team, ride solo, or just have friends chip in to support your biking efforts.

The ride:

🚲 It won’t be a full loop—we’re sticking to bike path, for a total distance of about 25 miles, starting 10AMish on April 26, details to follow!

🎁 There will be **some swag** (surprise!)

🥪 Mid-ride **picnic & drinks**—on me!
