Join me to support kids with cancer

I’m riding to raise funds and awareness for local kids with cancer and their families. Every dollar pledged will go toward the mission of Candlelighters For Children With Cancer, a non-profit organization that provides life-changing programs and services for families facing cancer across Oregon and SW Washington. You can support me by pledging per mile, and following my progress on the Ride for a Child 2026 Leaderboard.

Nice rest and recovery after Cycle Oregon Rally. Still getting a few more miles in though. Maybe we'll get to 1700 miles by the end of September.

The Ride for a Child group of forty riders just finished the Cycle Oregon Rally in Applegate Valley. I had a wonderful time with this great group of people. Candlelighters took super good care of us, and the weather was terrific until a little rain the last hour of our ride, on the last day! The fundraising goes until the end of September so there's still time for anyone wanting to donate. Send them this link: https://charity.pledgeit.org/Rideforachild/@BobHart or put them in contact with me. Thanks again to all you donors, it's been really awesome seeing the generosity to this important cause. (The photo is of all the 70+ riders in the Ride for a Child group). Ride On!

That was the last week of long rides. This week is rest and recover well for the start of the Cycle Oregon on Saturday. Maybe a couple short, easy rides this week. Next week should get close to 300 miles over the five days of CO! Looking forward to a fun week with a great group of Ride for a Child and Candlelighters people.

Another good week of riding exploring the Springwater Corridor Trail and various bike paths around SW Portland, Tigard and Tualatin. This will be the last week of longer rides, then rest, recovery and a couple easy rides the last week before Cycle Oregon starts Saturday 8/29. Thanks again to all you generous donors and supporters. You've helped me exceed my fundraising goals and helped Candlelighters in their mission to support children with cancer and their families.

Had a great time in Bend this weekend for a family reunion and managed to get in a killer ride from Bend to Mt Bachelor and back! 41 miles and 3100 ft of elevation! Great training ride for Cycle Oregon Rally and much more scenic than my rides around Portland.
