"Thanks for your support. Your pledge helps keep me motivated and it's for a great cause. Ive decided to do this challenge as I love bike riding. Not sure how many miles I will put in but I look forward to it. I am not new to riding at all. In the early 90s myself and a friend biked from here to Albany, up north to the Canadian border then east through the Adirondacks and back home to Lockport. It was a huge thrill and I will never forget it. Maybe this challenge will get me to try another cross country or state trek. Heres hoping."
