JC2NYC: Finding Inspiration
Planning new rides to far and exotic locales is always resting in the back of my mind, waiting to be kicked awake on the off-chance that I’ll have the opportunity to map it, organize it, and then do it. Unfortunately the world of work and corporate responsibility hinders me from hopping on the…
Our friend, gearhead, and fellow JC2NYC rider, John Fabula, will be riding this year’s Tour de Force NY for charity. Let’s help him along on his ride and put together a donation from JC2NYC. I’ll collect the cash, just let me know if you’d like to toss anything towards a good cause.

I have decided to participate in the Tour de Force NY this year and I have decided to dust off this blog and make it partly a training and fundraising diary.
“On 9/8/13 two hundred and fifty participants, will depart the Ground Zero and cycle through New York City, along Long Island’s coast, through Connecticut and into Rhode Island before finally landing at Boston’s 9/11 Memorial. Four days of cycling, 270 Miles, to commemorate the anniversary of the attacks on our great nation.”
I am proud to announce that I will be one of them!
The Tour de Force’s dual mission is to honor the victims of 9/11 by keeping their memory alive through cycling events and to raise funds, to benefit the families of police officers, who were killed in the line of duty, each year, nationwide, making the ultimate sacrifice. The Tour de Force is a registered 501©3 charity with the IRS.
I am the only member from my department participating in this ride this year so I am counting on the kindness and support of friends, family, and coworkers to sponsor me in my efforts.
To make a donation you can click here and find the name Fabula, John and click donate.
Please check back often to see how my training is progressing as well as to see some shout outs to friends and businesses who have supported me!
This make me miss taking out the fixed for long rides on sunny days.
