The Ride Ends
Here I am finishing the ride. We biked 62 miles, which took about 5 hours 30 minutes including stops. I’m 17 months out from successful pancreatic surgery to remove an islet-cell tumor at Hopkins. I’m relieved that I finished, amazed that I could feel so healthy, and saddened by the thought of all those who supported my ride and told me of loved ones who had adenocarcinoma.
Dena and I trade high-fives.
We’re done. The ice cream truck is on our right.
I would never have been able to do this without the love and support of family and friends–and the amazing doctors and nurses at Hopkins who saved me.
