My Story

20 Jul 2026

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Those who know me know that I've been doing my best to get out and get biking more. If you also know me, you know that I care. This seems like a good opportunity to raise funds for a good cause and to do it while out and about. Since it'll be on my ebike, I've upped the kms that i think i could do on a motorless one. As I do not have the biggest facebook presence I would appreciate if you share this. If I meet the donation goal I'll donate 50 dollars and for every 100 dollars over I'll personally donate 25 dollars. Looking to get a camera for the bike to share my rides, but I will be updating this with any and all pictures i do take.

Cheers, stay safe, and share the love. We are all in this together.

Thank you.

    Happy trails everyone!

    For all those who had the day off I hope you had a good Regatta day. For those who didn't or have no idea what the heck that is, well I still hope you had a great day.

    The ride today started out great! Twas a beautiful sunny day and I got a good few km's in. Not 20 minutes after I met up with my riding buddy the heavens opened up and it started to pour.

    So we had to cut our ride short. That ended in an interesting ride home over the highway from Thorburn road.

    Got home looking like a drenched rat but got some good footage which I'm editing now in my amateur attempts at video editing. No lie, after a soaking a housecoat and cup of cocoa is one of life's simple great pleasure. Also pleased that I got 31km in today.

    Bit more rain this week but I'll still be giving er.

    Cheers folks and don't forget, we're all in this together!

    Just a short little update today as I wasn't able to get out yesterday and just took the whip to work and back.

    First off thank you ever so much Michael Greene for your generosity towards a worthy cause. Mike donated 104 dollars in my ride to raise money for children's cancer!

    Thanks again to all who've donated so far. I'm 2/5 of the way now to my fundraising goal and words cannot describe the appreciation I have for everyone who has donated or shared the info on this journey!

    The camera I purchased takes surprisingly nice video and I'm in the process of uploading what I took on my ride Saturday.

    Also, I got a bit of a scare after taking a tumble yesterday so I'll be going slow for a couple days. It reminded me that I am not invincible and things that can sour very quickly when being careless. Thankfully I escaped with only a few bruises. Helmets save lives people never forget!

    Well that's all for today. Happy trails and don't forget, we're all in this together.

    What a great day to get out and about and start a challenge!

    Cheers to everyone. I hope you all had a better day than your worst!

    So, for the start of my journey I decided to hit up Signal Hill! So, that's a run from Mount Pearl to there. So many people came out today to see fog. It was neat!

    Met up with a friend along the way and we tackled that task and did some other biking into the lesser known hills looking over the area near Manna's Bakery.

    Since I can only show one photo I'm looking into another way to show pictures of the run and I still have to review the trail cam (lol and find out if it actually worked) so stay tuned!

    Love and peace y'all and fuck cancer
