It's that time of year again. The annual Cancer Bikeout is an event I've been attending over the last several years to help raise funds for the never-ending battle against cancer. Until this year I had never been so personally affected by cancer but that all changed when a couple of friends as well as a family member were all diagnosed and subsequently after months of each fighting their respective fights, each lost their battles and are no longer here to share a laugh with. I will be riding in their honor. Peter Rimac, Michael Wefers and Darren Garnick are all lost but not forgotten. I'm looking to ride at least 3 laps this year to honor each of them.
I know there are a lot of places to donate to and countless causes but please consider a small donation in honor of these three people.
Thanks,
Erik
