On October 4, I'll be riding 30 miles in the Lifeline 100 with Team Scenic Rivers. I'm trading a relaxing Sunday morning for sore legs, questionable spandex, and hopefully a worthy cause.

I'm riding because I want my kids to grow up with the same forests and rivers I enjoy today.

Scenic Rivers Land Trust permanently protects the forests, farms, wetlands, rivers, and open spaces that make our community such a special place to live and explore. Every donation helps ensure those places are here for future generations.

If you're able, I'd be grateful for your support. Every gift, whether it's the cost of a coffee or something larger, helps make a real difference.

Thanks for cheering me on. If you happen to see me on October 4, feel free to honk, wave, or simply admire my impeccable cycling fashion choices.

Thanks!
