Day Two became Ken's longest bicycle ride ever: 96.7 miles in 13 hours. Wrong turns, rough trails, lake views, family support, and a high-five from Jeremiah carried him all the way to Petoskey.

Before Ken's first 74.2-mile riding day could begin, a missing wallet nearly stopped the trip. Prayer, family support, difficult roads, fresh fruit, a brake repair, and a determined finish carried him from Ludington to Interlochen.

Ken's final 20-mile training ride brought rain, a shoulder scare, a prayer, and a promise to carry part of his brother Don with him around Lake Michigan. Tomorrow, the journey begins, but one quiet decision at the end of this ride says more than the mileage ever could.

A request for help protecting Ken's lungs became a conversation about fatherhood, faith, charitable giving and 600 shoebox gifts. RZ Industries founder Steve Torbenson shared why his sons inspired his work and how his team plans to help Ken face smoke and dust around Lake Michigan.

Ken's 40.97-mile training ride included 1,673 feet of climbing, a 15 mph headwind, a stop at Richard's house and one deeply personal reflection about his brother Mike's concern for his safety. Ken's answer came down to a rocking chair, a bubble and why he still chooses to ride.

Ken rode 55.61 miles from Hartford to Lake Michigan and back, climbing 1,940 feet over seven hours while facing poor air quality, bridge construction, heat, a hard headwind and one final hill.

Ken's July 16 training ride brought a special riding partner, wildfire haze, Holy Hill, steep climbs, and a few feathered roadblocks. Thirty miles later, a grandfather and grandson had a story neither will soon forget.

Ken logged a 30.33-mile training ride on July 3, climbing near Holy Hill, stopping every five miles, racing the weather, and preparing for his Lake Michigan ride for Operation Christmas Child.

Ken and Richard spent the evening turning the Lake Michigan bike trip into a real plan, mapping the route, narrowing campground options, preparing gear, and getting ready for a 545-mile ride with a purpose.

A little rain made today’s ride the perfect test for Ken’s new rain suit. He stayed dry, comfortable, and kept putting in the miles as he prepares for his Lake Michigan bike trip.
