Hello everyone. My name is Eric Caspary and I ride every year in a Columbus, OH charity ride called Pelotonia. The goal of the ride and the riders is to raise money for cancer research. It is a very well-run charity with 100% of rider-raised donations going directly towards cancer research (the administrative costs are covered by corporate and individual private donations). I completed 100 miles on Saturday, August 3rd through mostly good conditions riding from Columbus to Gambier, OH (Kenyon College is the finish). Though the ride is now complete, I am still short of my fundraising commitment and would appreciate any donations in any amount.
