All 8 Riders successfully arrived at Edgewater Park on Lake Erie in Cleveland at about 5:40 on Sunday Evening, August 10. While the temps were rather warm for the three days, the heat had only a minor effect on the ride itself. With all of the cyclists focusing on hydration & nightly recovery, they pedaled the 335 miles (as it turned out) with good form. The only mechanical issue was one punctured tire, suffered by Luke Williams on Day 3 north of Canal Fulton. Chad Settlage, a very experienced rider & Luke's father-in-law, jumped in to speed the repair, and they were back in the saddles within 15 minutes. God blessed us with His protection in the couple of instances where circumstances could've gotten sketchy and vigilant communication made for a accident-free ride.
Ernie's Ride 2025 was our 10th Edition and, with your generosity, we were able to exceed a quarter of a million dollars of pledged support for babies & their families in those 10 years. Thank you! And, Thank Jesus!
