My Story

13 Aug 2025

*** Im currently in Iceland cycling around the entire country. For live updates please visit me on Instagram @mikeriley92 or Facebook (Michael Riley). My GPS isn't tracking my rides correctly over here 😀***

Hello,

My name is Michael Riley, and I am honored to be participating in The Great Cycle Challenge for the fourth year, now as a Champion Rider!

One hundred percent of donations go directly to SickKids Hospital.

I began this journey in 2021. As a new father to my beautiful daughter Emma and in 2023 my beautiful son Ethan, my priorities changed quickly. I realized how fortunate I was to have a healthy child, which, sadly, is not the case for everyone. Since becoming a father, I've felt a strong drive to help others through events like the GCC.

Here's a look at my progress over the years:

- 2021: Raised $7,300 and rode 640 km. - Grand Ride - Pickering to Burlington!

- 2022: Raised $16,356 and rode 1,018 km. - Grand Ride - Markham to Niagara Falls!

- 2023: Raised $23,067 and rode 1,255 km. - Grand Ride - Markham to Montreal!

- 2024: Raised $31,837 and rode 1,518km. - Grand Ride - The Circumference of Lake Ontario! Markham - Markham.

For 2025 I'm planning a trip to Iceland. I will be cycling as far as the weather allows.

I'm incredibly grateful to be part of this amazing event and look forward to many more years of participation.

Thank you, everyone, for your support!
