Hi everyone, the ride went well. It was a race but we weren't too caught up in that. In the end though I placed 5th in the 50k men and Sandra 2nd in the ladies. We got to ride some great trails and raise some much needed money I plan on doing the 120k next year. I'll fly the R2S banner again and hopefully we'll be back to normal and I can raise a b...

A recap of August 2020 - what a year, what a month it's been! While we are all making changes in our lives, and adapting to doing things differently I am happy to say that it was a refreshing change in fundraising energy and efforts on all fronts for me! Don't get me wrong, I love my bike and the team I have gotten to know over the last couple of y...

Due to the heavy forest fire smoke, Paul is postponing his Triple Crown effort for one week to Sep 19th.  Our own Paul Janzen is heading out this Saturday on a road bike and a mountain bike (not at the same time we're told!) to climb Seymour, Grouse and Cypress mountains. We'll have live tracking of his trek (perhaps on a Trek??) here on ...

Just wanted to say I am happy to say I gave this my best shot to raise $3,000 for cancer research with Ride2Survive in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thank you so much for your donations so far. This is my final plea for donations. I am currently at $2,480 with $520 left to meet my goal of $3,000. If you have been thinking about this now is t...

I'm not sure anyone saw any of this coming out of the COVID thing but... Building on the success of our new R2S independent challenge events.. we got a call from someone who happened to see the Ride2Survive trailer and the Crazy Hikers at their finish line and thought the event and vibe was so cool that he should do one himself!! Sta...

The Crazy Hikers, Dave Peerless, Carol Peters, Jacob Koomen and Destanne Norris have all completed their Ride2Survive 2020 Challenges and so far we are at over $76,000 on our goal of $100,000 this year (a goal I hope we can change in the upwards direction!). Next up is Brooke, Ryan and Steve doing their 300km in 3 days starting June 17th.  Tha...

Jacob completed his 500km ride2survive this weekend. As life goes (and cancer treatments), the best laid plans are often scoffed at and pushed aside.Here's Jacob's update from Friday: "We arrived in Victoria last night but not the way it was supposed to be. I had to abandon my ride yesterday after 162 km due to major safety concerns. It felt like r...

It's the day before my 20 km Silver Star Mountain Summit Challenge that I will be completing with my two dear friends, Sarah and Bob. I'm periodically gazing out the window taking in the expansive view of the Monashee mountains from one of the Peaks townhomes while resting my legs, contemplating and sharing more of my story. Most of you know that I...

8AM launch time for Jacob this morning from Campbell River on his way to Mile zero of the Trans Canada Highway in Victoria. He had a hard and long day yesterday in the winds but thankfully no rain. If technology works for us today, we will have some frequent updates on where he is. Here is his route today:

8AM start today from Port Hardy.

Stay tuned for updates on where Jacob is thru today and tomorrow.

Today he will be out of cell coverage most of the day so likely not many updates on his 238km day.

Please read right to the bottom!! May 19th, 1995. For those of you who know me, I don't even need to tell you what happened that day. For those who don't know me so well, it was the day my sisters and I lost our Mom. To put it simply, she was amazing. Kind. Funny. Beautiful. Smart. Loyal. She would literally walk through a wall for her kids, and he...
