2024 marks my 15th Cycle To The Sea (CTTS). Back in 2010 when I started this journey, I never thought the allure of the road would still be this strong. For those who don't know, each year, I, and other disabled hand-cyclists, join with a group of able-bodied bicycle riders and other volunteers for the annual Cycle To The Sea. CTTS is an 180 mile trek from Charlotte to North Myrtle Beach that we make peddling with just our arms. We travel 60 miles a day for three days to raise awareness and funds for the Adaptive Sports and Adventures Program (ASAP).
