I’d never been to my usual Gurdwara on my bike before, let alone dressed in cycling kit but the desire to pay my respects during my ride was made more acute by a call of nature.

Thank you for supporting my ride for Movember!
On a frigid Black Friday morning, I was standing with my bike and nursing a coffee in the parking lot of Temple Coffee in Fair Oaks with over $500 in donations from people who stepped up quickly to support me. Clearly, there are very generous people out there.
The answer is, “Movember.”
After I completed the fundraising ride for No Kid Hungry last month, I was often asked “so, what’s next?” With nothing planned, I came to realize that the time was right for a ride to support Movember and men’s health.

Cycling can often make one feel kind of small, like not enough, not adequate. So we work hard to feel value, to feel worthy. But, during my recent ride for No Kid Hungry, I had moments of feeling a different kind of small, in relation to the unknown grand scheme, and felt a different kind of value.
Thank you for supporting my ride for No Kid Hungry!
Thanks to all who supported my 107-mile ride from Sacramento to San Francisco for No Kid Hungry! I learned that it’s true what they say about riding a bike, and more important, we raised $2,182 to help get food to kids in these difficult times.
