I cycle to work a couple of times per week and do longer training rides on the weekend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joe:<\/strong> Do you cycle all year round? If not, how do you maintain your fitness through the year?<\/p>\n<p><strong>David: <\/strong>Generally, I\u2019m a \u2018fair-weather\u2019 cyclist. I don\u2019t cycle in the winter. In the colder months, I go to the gym and do spin classes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joe:<\/strong> Do you have anything you would like to say to people who are thinking of doing the Ride, but who may be a little nervous, or think they can\u2019t do it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>David: <\/strong>The Ride is for everyone. Do it. The Ride is made up of a real mix of people &#8211; avid cyclists and those who have never even considered doing that kind of distance. There are a lot of rest stops, and it\u2019s not a race. You can take your time and you will get it done. It\u2019s amazing what you can accomplish with the support of the people riding around you, and the Ride\u2019s staff, crew and volunteers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joe:<\/strong> How much money do you have to raise to participate in the Ride?<\/p>\n<p><strong>David: <\/strong>Each Rider has to raise a minimum of $2,500 in order to participate in the event. However, participants are supported every step of the way by Ride Guides that offer fundraising and training tips!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joe:<\/strong> How is your fund-raising going this year?<\/p>\n<p><strong>David: <\/strong>With the support of my family and friends, I have raised over $2,600 this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joe:<\/strong> Which is harder \u2013 the fund-raising or the riding?<\/p>\n<p><strong>David:<\/strong> The fund-raising is difficult. It\u2019s difficult because there are a lot of causes that people are asked to support throughout any given year, and people do get donor fatigue. It\u2019s also difficult to ask people for money. A lot of people have told me that they would participate in the Ride, but worry about fundraising. As this is my 5<sup>th<\/sup> Ride, I can tell you that fundraising <em>is<\/em> a challenge, but a challenge that can be completed!
