Day four. Big one but what a start. It’s in the very low 50s here, and everything is soaked. Moving kinda hurts. This morning is definitely the definition of ouch 😳 Here I go today! Today I’m riding for NYAC. You guys are not just where I work. Over the last five years you’ve turned

I’m home now. The last week, in many ways, seems like a dream. Today I think I’m more mentally and physically exhausted than I have been all week. The drive home took 10+ hours, but I won’t go into all of that. I do want to just sum things up with some numbers that you

Huh. A week ago I was sitting in a tent in Staten Island. Now I’m sitting in a hotel room in Niagara Falls. I made it. Tomorrow will return to some reality, with the thoughts of the past week echoing in my mind. I will give some of the details and numbers and my favorite
Quick post. Leaving in about 30 minutes. Unbelievably cold this morning. I think last night the temperature almost kissed a number starting with “4”. Almost nobody was prepared. Definitely not me. I slept ok in my sleeping bag but getting out of it has been painful. Everything is cold and damp. But off we go.

I realize I’ve been very introspective. I won’t go too much there tonight. Just a few thoughts and pictures. Today was a decent ride but we had near-20MPH headwinds a lot of the ride which was brutal. But tonight is my last sleep in a tent. I’m going through my bags sorting things through, realizing

Figured I’d send in an early post. I’m sitting here in Weedsport at the Speedway. I found a quiet spot (ironically) in the bleachers to reflect. Yes there will be some pictures but you have to digest my contemplation first. Unless you scroll down. It sank in today that it’s day five of this. This

Last night was a bit of a powerful post. And being able to share two stories from donors was even more powerful. Over the last two days it’s been a lot about people. Today I’m going to take a small departure and just show some pictures from yesterday and today. I will say that today

Story submitted by Jennifer Von Iderstein In the summer of 1987 when I was 12, my Mom was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. She fought it valiantly until she passed away in December of 1997 at the age of 53. Greg was there for me when I returned to college and struggled with my loss. One

I want to talk today. Yes I have some absolutely fantastic pictures, but today was a tough day. They say that, at some point during this ride, you have a moment where change happens. That was today. I want to tell you what happened today first, and then explain what changed inside of me. The

Story submitted by Keri Topf: In, I believe it was 2016, we took my mother to the hospital for what wound up to be an intestinal obstruction. We later found out it was a tumor in her colon…colon cancer. She had surgery and required a lot of care after but we did all we could

Today was a unique day. As I imagine they all will be. So I guess I can’t say that. I have a few pictures to share, but I wanted to talk about the experience. The stories. As I’ve said, this isn’t about Greg riding a bike. I rode most of today alone. By choice. But

Day one is done. It’s been an eventful day. Today started as I expected. A lot of confusion followed by a sense of figuring things out. Once in New York City it poured on us. But we rode on. I spent some of the day riding with others. I spent some alone. And I reflected.
