The Big Ride
I retired in January 2019. With nothing exciting to do on the horizon, I decided to ride my bike from Key West, FL to Fort Kent, ME! Here (in reverse order) are the VLOG's for each day of my ride. Yes, I did it by myself. No, I didn't do Route 1 all the way. I went up to the Blue Ridge Parkway and through the Shenandoah Valley. And while I originally planned to camp along the way, that was quickly replaced by following Bed & Breakfasts and Breweries along the way! I managed to raise about $4,000 for Cancer research during the ride. I hope you take a look at some of my VLOG's and the ride.
​
Cancer Research Institute is a high quality cancer charity focused on development of immunotherapies for cancer. These therapies promise better outcomes with fewer side effects than current medieval methods of cancer treatment. I have a goal of raising $100,000 for this research through my CRI donation page.​
