The Imagine Ride

Wow. I can’t believe tomorrow is the final 60 km of The Imagine Ride. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to support youth mental health and the work of Jack.org. I invite you to join Facebook live between 5:30-6:00 pm to say ‘hi’ or ride along at home with me for a few kms. See you tomorrow! @jackdotorg #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealth #cycling #cyclingforcharity @mayormrakas

The Imagine Ride continues today at 5:30. You can join me and the IR Crew on Facebook Live or if you want to ride along on Zwift. We hope to do a 60 km ride. See you then!! #youthmentalhealth #imagineride #donate #bepossible #jack.org www.imagineride.

Today was my last road ride...only 120 km left which I’ll cover on the trainer Monday and Wednesday evening. There were several times over the past month when I felt like a turtle on the road, while other times I felt like I could ride forever. And that’s okay - this was never a race, it was about bringing awareness to Jack.org and youth mental health. Thank you to @pseybold @trevorhuntz4989 @jthal5 @christinegardner7453 @ericwindeler @adriennetaylor8 @gordmanuel @lapolks for riding with me and carrying me along during those turtle moments! @jackdotorg #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealth #cycling #cyclingforcharity #imagineride #donate

Just hit the 2,000 km mark! I’m heading out on the road again tomorrow before finishing with rides on the trainer next Monday and Wednesday evening. Together, we have raised over $30,000 for Jack.org. Interested in donating?

Heading out this morning, with only 350 km to go in The Imagine Ride, I looked forward to enjoying today’s ride. Stop to take pictures. Listen to my body and rest when needed...I’m grateful it has carried me this far, but my legs are starting to feel tired. Never could I have imagined riding alongside a deer that suddenly emerged from the forest!! We were about a foot apart for 15 ft or so before it leapt back into the forest. And after many years of searching...I even found Waldo!!
