What are you most looking forward to about the Bike Ride?
At first, Graham was a little nervous about biking along the road with cars whizzing by, but he is excited to experience the Florida Keys and bike along the coast of Florida.
“I cannot wait to look back on this Bike Ride and say ‘I rode over 650 miles.’ It’s something I never imagined I would do. That’s pretty crazy.”
