Recap of the off week and the DMD is only days away...

After the prior week of covering most of the state by car with skiing in Tahoe with my daughter on Monday through Wednesday and then traveling to Southern California for first of the Stage Race Series with the Mulholland Double Century, it was nice to be home last week. As far as riding, it was a light week with a short 50 mile ride with the Valley Wheelers Saturday. As I prepare for Stage 2 of the Stage Race Series (the Devil Mountain Double) on Saturday, I'll get one or two short (20 miles or less) rides in this week and try to get a couple of days in at the gym.

With a 5AM start time on Saturday, Thursday night is going to be the last opportunity for good nights sleep. If you are in the bay area and want to come on out and cheer the riders on Saturday, you'll find us at the San Ramon Marriott at 5 AM and then climbing one of the 9 climbs (Diablo, Morgan Territory, Patterson, Mines, Hamilton, Sierra, Calaveras, Palomares, and Norris) over the course of the 206 miles and more than 20,000 feet of climbing.

Please join me in the fight against Primary Immunodeficiency diseases and click the Just Give.Org button on the upper right hand side of the onetoughride blog page or if you are reading this on the Facebook Fan Page, it's down in the lower left corner. Thanks in advance for your support!
Best,

ONETOUGHRIDE | WHY

ONETOUGHRIDE is a fund raising effort to support research to find a cure for Primary Immunodeficiency (PI) diseases. The Jeffrey Modell Foundation is matching 100% of all donations for local research conducted at the Jeffrey Modell Primary Immunodeficiency Center at Stanford. As a father of a child with PI, I have used various ultra endurance cycling events (since starting the project in 2010) as a backdrop for fund raising to support the efforts of the Jeffrey Modell Foundation. I will once again use my participation in the 2016 Silver State 508 to raise awareness and funding for the Jeffrey Modell Primary Immunodeficiency Center at Stanford which is under the directorship of Dr. David B. Lewis. Dr. Lewis is an incredible Physician and Scientist, and it is truly an honor to be able to play a small part in supporting the work that he and his team are doing. Our family is also very fortunate to have Dr. Lewis as our child’s immunologist. I hope that you will join me in this effort by clicking on the link above and making a donation to support this cause. This challenge is personal but the impact is global, and I'll be racing for all of the children and adults around the world that battle PI diseases every day!
