My motivation to ride 500 miles in one day.... I have a friend that has done this ride in the past on a few occasions and he knew that my father in-law had cancer and told me I should do it with him. There were days I was just like "Donny get off my back about this ride". That said, I have gone back and forth on this for two years, thinking can I do this, 500 miles in one day, I will be sore beyond belief. Seeing what my father in-law, and so many others, go through in just one day made this sacrifice seem minimal. My father in-law lost his battle with cancer last year I decided that I would do this ride in honor of his memory.
As a part of the Snowball Cancer Challenge 2025, Nick and a group of riders on Feb 6, 2025 and Feb 13, 2025 will attempt to ride 500+ miles in ONE DAY – The Valentine 500. These riders will obtain pledges and donations to keep them motivated on their long ride(s). The money raised will go to the Keller Family Community Foundation to support their mission. All donations will be tax deductible.
