Last year I was blown away by your support as I challenged myself with a self-supported 100-mile ride from Earlysville up to the southern section of Skyline Drive and back.  It was a sublime experience with perfect weather and gorgeous views.  But I'm thrilled that this year the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo can be back in person from Harrisonburg!  On September 26, 2021, I'll try to beat my 2019 performance on the tough "Alpine Loop" route:  110 miles and 10,000 feet of climbing, including some crazy steep gravel sections.

Just like last year, I am riding in support of the Cancer Journeys Foundation Prostate Cancer Awareness Project and its mission to increase the rate of prostate cancer survivorship.

Each year in the United States, approximately 240,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer - that's one man every 17 minutes. On average, 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

The good news is that research shows prostate cancer is very treatable, but only if it is discovered early, before it has metastasized. According to the American Cancer Society, survival rates are nearly 100-percent for men with prostate cancer that is found while it is still within the prostate gland or nearby areas.

The #1 way you can support my participation in the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo is by taking advantage of the Prostate Cancer Awareness Project's FREE ProstateTracker. Sign up for your free Prostate Tracker account.

The next way you can lend your support is by contributing to my fundraising efforts. Contributions will support the Prostate Cancer Awareness Project in its mission to spread the message of prevention and early detection.

Thank you for your support and your encouragement as I take on this important challenge!
