What a great month! This has been my most successful year yet, thanks to all the very generous sponsors! If you didn't get a chance to donate, you still have until September 27 to do so.
I'm looking forward to next year...
Good news: Wednesday, August 14 is "Kick Cancer's Butt Day". All donations that day will be MATCHED by a very generous donor. If there's a day for you to sponsor me, that's the day to aim for. See https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/fundraising/kick-cancers-butt-day/kick-cancers-butt-day-info for more details.
Yesterday I got my NEW 2024 jersey, which I earned by raising $500 in donations this year. Thanks so much for your support! I love the new jersey. This year they changed them from a zipper that only goes part way down in the front to one that goes completely from top to bottom. So much easier to put on and take off!
This is my favourite upgrade to my ride this year! I bought some bone conduction headphones. I can now listen to my music while I ride, and they don't block my ears, so I can still hear my surroundings too. I love it!
These are the two bikes that I'll be using in my challenge this August, depending on where I'm riding.
On the left is my primary bike, a 2015 Kona "Jake the Snake" cyclocross.
On the right is my 1994 GT Vantara hybrid.
I bought them both new, and they are both great to ride!
