This June I’ll be cycling 270 miles over 3 days in my fifth ALS Tri-State Trek. There must be easier ways to get a bowl of Husky Tracks ice cream but I’m sure it wouldn’t be as rewarding without biking 103 miles on the first day to get it!
It’s hard to point to a single purpose for the ride as there are so many good reasons …
- To support the efforts of ALS TDI and help raise much needed funds …
- To reunite with the Trek family and experience the camaraderie of a great group of people all focused on the same goal …
- To remember all those that have suffered from ALS and to continue the hope that it will soon end …
- To remind myself that while biking 270 miles over 3 days can seem grueling and painful, it can’t be anything compared to living with ALS …
- But most of all to remember my good friend and adventure companion Robin Ashley who passed away from ALS in 2011. Robin always lived life to the fullest. No adventure was too big or too small as long as it allowed him to spend time in the outdoors with family and friends.
Please support my efforts. No amount is too small and every donation is greatly appreciated.
