Why am I doing this you may ask. Well, maybe because it's there, or to see what's on the other side of the mountain, the grass grows greener on that side, doesn't it? To push myself to new limits and then go beyond those limits, what are limits anyway? just something you make up when your tired and it hurts to much to go on, so to hell with limits, I'll do it anyway!!
Well, not really, the real reason I'm doing this ride is that, 2011 is my 20th year anniversary of beating the odds against cancer. I was diagnosed and treated for bone cancer in my right knee in 1991. To make a long story short, I went through a year of chemotherapy and surgery that saved my life, but left me with an artificial right knee. This is my 2nd cross country bike ride and I can't think of a better way to keep kicking cancer's ass than to ride my bike with my artificial right knee across this great country.
OK, but not really, the real reason I'm doing this ride it simply because, I get too!
Pedal On!
