The 2014 Ride was especially challenging for me, as I was continuing to recover from a major illness. I\u2019d been interested in doing a Ride for a while, so I decided to create a two-part goal. Goal one was to raise the minimum $2,500 in donations needed to tackle the Ride, with the second to train for and complete the distance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17326\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17326\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17326\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/support-2016-ride-to-conquer-cancer\/heather-adams-bc-rtcc-photo-by-jelias-2-750\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg?fit=750%2C915&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,915\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Heather Adams &#8211; BC RTCC &#8211; photo by JElias 2 750\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Heather Adams training for the 2014 Ride to Conquer Cancer from Toronto to Niagra&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg?fit=246%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg?fit=750%2C915&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17326 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg\" alt=\"Heather Adams training for the 2014 Ride to Conquer Cancer from Toronto to Niagra\" width=\"750\" height=\"915\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17326\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17326\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/support-2016-ride-to-conquer-cancer\/heather-adams-bc-rtcc-photo-by-jelias-2-750\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg?fit=750%2C915&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,915\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Heather Adams &#8211; BC RTCC &#8211; photo by JElias 2 750\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Heather Adams training for the 2014 Ride to Conquer Cancer from Toronto to Niagra&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg?fit=246%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg?fit=750%2C915&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17326 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg?resize=750%2C915&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Heather Adams training for the 2014 Ride to Conquer Cancer from Toronto to Niagra\" width=\"750\" height=\"915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg?resize=246%2C300&amp;ssl=1 246w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg?resize=123%2C150&amp;ssl=1 123w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg?resize=250%2C305&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-photo-by-JElias-2-750.jpg?resize=320%2C390&amp;ssl=1 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/noscript> Heather Adams training for the 2014 Ride to Conquer Cancer from Toronto to Niagra<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It was pretty scary to sign up to ride 200 kilometres in a weekend with zero certainty that I was capable of riding the distance. I started fundraising and training with short rides to start, building up my distances. Near the end of the summer, I did one 100-kilometre day so that I knew during the event that I could do it. It all came together \u2013 completing the Ride in 2014 felt amazing, as did all the support that I received from family and friends. Since 2008, the Ride in Ontario (June 11 and 12 this year) has raised over $138 million for Princess Margaret Cancer Centre!<\/p>\n<h3>What Rides are you Planning?<\/h3>\n<p>I plan to complete the trifecta with the 2016 Ride to Conquer Cancer in BC this August (27 and 28), and will decide over the winter if 2017 is a go. I\u2019m really excited about completing the BC Ride that goes from Vancouver to Seattle. I absolutely love this part of the world. The geography dork in me is also fired up to cross the border on a bike. To date, the BC Ride has raised over $70 million for the BC Cancer Foundation \u2013 incredible!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17328\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17328\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17328\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/support-2016-ride-to-conquer-cancer\/heather-adams-bc-rtcc-photo-by-jelias-750\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Heather-Adams-BC-RTCC-Photo-By-JElias-750.jpg?fit=750%2C809&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,809\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Heather Adams &#8211;

rides in Toronto is through the Don Valley to the Leslie Street Spit, which is closed to cars on weekends. I do a lot of cross-training through other sports as well. Knowing that the Ride in BC is at the end of the summer is lovely motivation to get out on my bike. I\u2019m not exactly hard-core about it. An average training ride for me is 50-60-kilometres on a sunny weekend, perhaps with a nice half way point snack to enjoy while I look back at the Toronto skyline from the Spit. The training is much more than just event weekend. I love the motivation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17333\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17333\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17333\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/support-2016-ride-to-conquer-cancer\/rest-day-in-high-park-toronto-750\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Rest-Day-in-High-Park-Toronto-750.jpg?fit=750%2C1000&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Rest Day in High Park, Toronto 750\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Rest is vitally important when training for a big ride.

I was very intimidated before my first Ride and I\u2019m so glad that I jumped in. The Ride\u00a0to Conquer Cancer is filled with people of <strong>all shapes, sizes, athletic abilities and types of bikes, all brought together for a great cause<\/strong>. There are experienced cyclists in matching spandex beside wide-eyed rookie riders. The event is very supportive. Everyone is there to support cancer research and those affected by the disease. Many people also love bikes.<\/p>\n<p>If you are concerned about making the distance, there are checks and balances in place, whatever that is. If you ride 75-kilometres and are out of gas, there are sweep vehicles along the way to help out and take you and your bike the rest of the way. It\u2019s kind of nice to know that it\u2019s always an option \u2013 this is an event and a journey, not a race. That said, with some training rides in, you can go the distance.<\/p>\n<h3>Where can readers go to support your Ride to Conquer Cancer this year?<\/h3>\n<p>My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.conquercancer.ca\/site\/TR\/Ride\/Toronto2017?px=3639865&amp;pg=personal&amp;fr_id=1581\" target=\"_blank\">2017 rider page is here<\/a>.
