This first post I will give some basic details an overview, then future posts will be a little more detail for each day.
First of all, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! To everyone that supported, sponsored, donated and rode with me! Infinit Nutrition, AsMasters, Livestrong, Rays Bike Lights and the Local Bike Shops that support us on all these endeavors.
OK so some details:
We raised $1880.00 so far, there is a little more being collected from the Auction but we will likely be at $1930 +/- AWESOME!
We rode 315 +/- miles
Climbed 34,140 feet
slept under redwoods, on a futon, on the side of the road, in a homeless encampment and in a nice hotel
some of the other data is hard to read, because I'm sure we didn't hit 93 mph like it says, and we may have forgotten to stop and start recording a few times. If you zoom in on the loop, you can see the many wrong turns, dead ends etc, and if you look very carefully you might even notice where we might have had to jump a fence or two...

Some photos were posted on my facebook page Livestrong Album and I believe Robert will have several on his pages as well.
More to come.
- Thanks to Tom "Bubba" Ray Bryan for allowing us to use his name as an excuse to do something like this, he's doing so well, the pancreatic cancer is shrinking, the hernia is repaired and he is in Leadville supporting all of our friends for the Trail races.
- I'd like to send a shout out to Glenn Knight and his family, he's recovering in a hospital after his cancer has been operated, another trooper that will make it through like a champ.
- I'd like to send some love to Shelley, be strong, your mom will be fine and will be in the ranks of all these survivors.
- Robert Tuma, thanks for being there with me on this ride, you too are one incredibly strong survivor!
- On a slightly sad note, during our ride, we lost an inspiration of a man, John Dunbar, however, that man went out like a champ ALS did not win, he outran it to the last second...you will be missed but you will be an inspiration to many.
- Thanks to my lovely wife Liz for always supporting these crazy ideas.
Peace
