I can’t stop cycling. It’s one of those addictive type of sporting activities whereby once started it is almost impossible to just simply quit. Not only that, I definitely need the exercise.

Now that I’ve completed the JDRF Ride to Cure 100-mile ride in Montana, it’s time to shoot for another ride. This time it will be more local and in support of a cause that has more of a personal connection with me.

With JDRF I was one of the few riders who did not have a close relative who is struggling with juvenile diabetes. However, by participating I came in contact with quite a few people who do and I learned just how wide-spread this disease is and the difficult daily challenges faced by families with children who have type 1 diabetes.

So what’s my next ride for a cause? It will be the Sunflower Revolution III, set for October 15th and based out of Loveland, Ohio. The ride will consist of 62 miles through Warren County, with much of route including the Little Miami Bikeway, which is a path I ride on about twice a week.

Best of all the ride is organized to help raise funds for research and build awareness for those in the Cincinnati area who suffer with Parkinson’s disease.

This ride will be for my mom.
