End of my #GCCUSA2024 #1200MileSeptember

Today (as I type ... not when this is posted) is the last day of my 2024 Great Cycle Challenge.

I might do one more ride today, but as of the time I'm typing this, I've ridden just over 1,220 miles in September.

So, I've satisfied my pledge of 1,200 miles and then some, which is an average of over 40 miles per day.

I've logged 50 separate rides in Strava, averaging about 24 miles per ride.

Over that 1220 miles, I climbed over 50,750 feet, averaging almost 1,700 feet per day and 1,015feet per ride.

With this effort (along with the rest of the year), I'm blowing away my #7100MilesIn2024 and #11EverestsIn2024 goals. I've ridden just over 6,291 miles with just over 324,690 feet in elevation gain.

Honestly, I'm pretty proud of myself. Not bad for an old couch potato such as myself.

As always, if you would like to donate (or just check out how I did), check out my riders page:


Last week, in #GCCUSA Jerseys During the #1200MileSeptember, I posted myself in all my "regular" GCC jerseys, and mentioned that I'd post my Hero Jerseys, so I'm doing that here.

2020 "Spider Man"

2021 "Wonder Woman"

2023 "Iron Man"

2022 "Captain America"

All Star Jersey

2024 "Thor"


So, that's pretty much it for my 2024 Great Cycle Challenge. Obviously it was a success. 

And ... not only did I ride a bunch, but more importantly, I raised $4,880 for the Children's Cancer Research Fund.

The page will remain active for 2024 donations at least through the end of October, so if you'd like to donate, feel free:


Better yet ... sign up yourself and help out by getting your own sponsors. (you don't have to ride 1,200 miles)

Of course, I'm planning on doing this again in 2025 for my 10th year. It will be the same page next year.
