My Mom, numerous relatives, friends and humanity
For MOM - for all you gave us. And to every kid - we give you the best we can do!
My Story
YEAR 4
This ride caught my attention a few years ago. I thought I would join, make a contribution, give me some time to think about my "Mom" and stay active. It is something bigger now, I never meant to ask people to support (an individual choice right), I never intended to "blog" but I started to think more about my Mom, my family members, hockey teammates and then we all have stories from friends about cancer's impact on their lives and families.
Nobody should have to deal with cancer. Cancer is one brilliant action (accidental or not) by a mind greater than mine to having a solution! Lets' crush cancer!
Check out my nephew, Nathan Tratnik. He is riding out of Victoria BC.
Breathe deeply, smile often, find the "good"...

My Challenge

Year 5 Kilometers Keep Rolling By
10 Aug 2025Today was an easy spin of 40km+ after the challenge of the Nordet on Friday, 137km to St Donat with about 1400M of climbing. Saved my legs by spinning in lower chain ring in front gear.
Wild life count on Nordet, 5 wild turkeys, 3 different spots. Seemed pretty disinterested in me - which is great. One white tail deer who must have been surprised to see me coming up the hill, a big snort (not heard that from a deer before and about 4 bounds before she was back in forest.
Think I am over 500km to date, so if all goes well, no injuries/ crashes - i could hit 700+ by end of next week
Pretty sure my Mom would think I am crazy...it would be even crazier, is that a word? - to give every kid a chance to live crazy like I have had the opportunity to do.
Smile, breath, find the good...
