My favorite way to generate good energy

What is an intensely creative empty nester, GenXer and small business owner to do when a global crisis alters the world as we know it? I say, roll with it.

I didn’t take up cycling until my 40s, but logging hundreds of miles a month on the open road has become my must-have moment of Zen, my trusted community and my go-to nonprofit fundraisers. JDRF’s annual Ride to Cure Diabetes gets my wheels turning and Can’d Aid’s bike giveaways to first-graders warm the cockles of my heart.
