Fast ride today for a cloudy Monday this will be the last week of riding for the cause then I will carry on to some other locations explore a few new trails.

It was great today I left home 10am I had a lot on my mind the past few nights that kept me awake longer than I wanted to stay awake .

This has been a wonderful summer so far for riding bike.

I have had a fun time riding for such a wonderful cause ! I have so many memories from James’ time in hospital he was a great boy never complained only about his brother . I hope everyone had a great day

Raining hard today

Wow,the last week for me to ride . I have around 120km left which is 2 days riding for me . I never thought for a moment I could do this but, here I am working hard and I am going to finish up this week .I am so excited about this .

I have had my son James who past away with a childhood cancer complications .

He has been in my heart with every turn of the pedals. Here we are James close to the finish line let get a couple nice hours my boy to get this done .

Love and miss you son

Mom

Great ride out the. The rain started

Wanted to pump out 60km today happy it’s done I have maybe three days left to ride and I will have accomplished my goal of km - am I happy so far yes

Chilly morning w/ chance of rain

Well I started out great just driving along the trail and it was so cold I had to turn around to come back home time to carry a hoodie

The little things

Today was one of my longest rides, I will sleep well tonight. I hold one thing in my head while riding and that is my baby boy James - he passed from childhood cancer and each km I ride is for him , it is my way of saying it hurt the day of your passing and it still hurts just as bad today, so I will ride on with your heart close to mine ! I cherish each day you were here on this planet with me son and I miss each day without you !

Love mom

The great

This morning the weather was calling for rain this afternoon,so I got up early headed out on my bike to put in some km , I figured I am going to explore and that is what I did !

I found myself almost at Brackly Beach I entered the trail and exited it at the pa ed path and just followed it u til it was gone I still pushed on , I wanted to hit 50km today , I get lost easy so I figured I best turn around headed home . I process a lot of things that go through my head during the week sometimes you have to be kind to yourself this week I did that for the betterment of myself mentally physical challenges for me are pretty easy emotional not so much , here I am carrying onward and living life to the fullest - like I have been trained to do all my life - I take on to much sometimes not anymore I have now learned to accept a lot of things that crush a soul but here I am pretending it’s all good Keep on biking with the target in mind !

Have a safe riding weekend everyone

Recovery day

Today after a couple long rides for me I really needed it my body was tired

Back at it tomorrow ! I will have 200km logged for riding ! I hope everyone had a great ride today !

I will hit the trails in morning

Adventure with beautiful scenery today

I was late getting going today - little chain issue mid way through the ride got that all fixed up and off I went!

I had one blue jay fly so close to me when I was riding I thought it was going to get hit thankfully he didn’t !

There was a lot on the trails today I was hurting from the 60km ride on Saturday now I am hurting even more.

I do this in memory of my youngest boy James ! I hope this message is understood so many children lose thier lives and James was one of- he was so brave bless his heart I know he is watching . Have a great evening

This is from today’s ride

Sunday

Well today I laid low to recover from yesterdays Long ride !

I went to bed last night with so much thanks for all those cheering me on in the distance and close by, I appreciate it all.

I was truly hurting from the ride . I will be back at it tomorrow I came up with an idea if every person that met James and he touched you in a wonderful way donated $1.00 I am sure I would exceed the small goal of 500$ we are making a little more progress today.

Tomorrow’s ride will be to clean up the 1st 100km . I hope I can get more done this week to reach the goal of 600km

Remember donate for this cause that is with me daily - thinking - wondering a lot these days about James .

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday everyone !

Memory

Today I started something that truly I held back from for so many years !

I rode for children’s cancer , I do this in memory of my son who was taken ao early in life - we were still getting to know who James was as a boy ! None is to young to pass away from such a horrible thing - many children and families hold tight to each other with HOPE and a pile of FAITH - not the kind of faith most would think of that comes after they see the child have a great day then it switches to god you go to. Ed and pray for the child to have a good day again tomorrow - you have to have faith in so many caretakers it is overwhelming , I have not experienced that feeling since !

So as I ride I will think of all those I met so many years ago !

I will think of my Oldest Juston wondering how the heck he survived - he is a. Wry successful man with to girls now and uncle James as they call him in heaven would love them so deeply .

Ride with purpose

Ride with your heart

Mostly ride so no child has to be lost or suffer

Have a great ride this month everyone

I will be out there on trails

Have fun , laugh a little and mostly remember why your doing this ride
