My ride for the day included getting on an airplane and flying to Miami. Looking at the weather I can feel the struggle Jeff and Jason went through to go the last 40 miles into Delta. I wish I had been there to help. But like those who are battling with cancer, good thoughts from [...]

I’m not sure my head stirred much after it hit the pillow. A good nights rest and a calm sunny morning stirred the blood so after getting something to eat I got on the bike and headed up Pinto Pass, the climb starts as soon as you leave the motel parking lot. I wanted to [...]

Thanks for checking-in on the Ride From Reno!  This 667-mile ride is dedicated to Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, and to the leading-edge research done there in the search for better tolerated, less toxic treatments for cancer and, ultimately, cures for the more than 150 types of this damnable disease.  The research conducted [...]

Day two is finally in the fridge. Once again the weather was delightful. Our day consisted of 126 miles of riding with roughly 5700 feet of elevation gain. Today was definately a team effort day. Some days we all need a little help and during the course of the day this was the case. So [...]

I Asked to join this years ride to, pay tribute to my deceased sister, Alison who was taken by an aggressive giloblastoma, and to join with Jeff for moral support while raising some funds for Cancer research. Today was day one. I have to admit there have been some emotional swings getting to this point, I mean [...]
