Spring has really arrived.

2019 has finally allowed Spring to arrive in most of the Midwest. We can get out and riding without looking like a bobsled team.

We're cooking up something really BIG(and long) for later this year. When the details are finalized, I'll post something.

New Jerseys: Raise One For Anne 2020

Image
For this year we're going to do one long/very long ride each month from May - September. We'll release the ride calendar later. Today, we're offering you an opportunity to make a small donation and buy a sweet new cycling jersey to support our cause! These jerseys will be made by Owayo. We've used this company in the past and the product quality is great. Nice fit, a bit on the snug side so choose your size wisely, and excellent finish. The women's jersey will be a 3/4 zip(in line with Lisa's preference) and the men's a full zip. Your cost will be $100 plus shipping. Any difference between my cost will be donated to The Epilepsy Foundation's SUDEP Institute. I will absorb all shipping costs from the manufacturer to me. Delivery time from Owayo is 4-6 weeks. Here is a link to their  Size Chart . I do recommend measuring if at all possible. Please email me, seanlisa@gmail.com, if you would like to order a jersey. If you know my phone number, you ca...

Unofficial kickoff on a chilly morning in KY

Image
On April 21st, Lisa and I unofficially kicked off the Raise One For Anne Tour by participating in the 100km Red Bud Ride in London, KY. It was a Sunny yet brisk morning(38F!) when we set out from downtown London for a tour of part of The Daniel Boone National Forest. Dressed like bob sledding Eskimos we were off with the stiffness from sleeping in a hotel bed and the morning chill. The Red Bud Ride presented us with about 3000 ft of climbing in a day. For perspective, I can ride the same distance near Columbus and barely crack 1000 ft. But Raise One For Anne isn't about doing things because they are easy. The people who live with epilepsy don't have easy lives. We dealt with the early rollers and found the first SAG station about 20 miles in to grab a snack, fill up water bottles, and get rid of our morning coffee. We had ditched our wind breakers but still were all but covered from head to toe as we warmed our legs back up and headed for the days biggest challeng...

2020 Plans as of May 20

We had plans for this year. Like nearly every other plan hatched by people this year, most of those are cancelled or seriously in doubt. We've decided to adapt and improvise. Here is what we are going to do.  Lisa  and I are going to complete one century ride, 100 miles, a month starting this month, May through September. We will be riding these unsupported with no guest riders until further notice. Obviously social distancing isn't an issue for two people who live in the same  household. When we have to stop for water, bathroom breaks, or extra snacks, we will have masks and hand sanitizer to keep us and those whom we may come in contact with during stops safe. You can still help us by donating. You can even create your own ride and join our team. Both are available via the link below. Contact me if you want to know more about being on the team and a chance to win prizes from  Epilepsy Foundation of America . I'll post more about rides we accomplish. And if ...
