  Dedicated riders for Mark’s Team since 2013:

Mark's Team, pictured above, grew over the years.  Friend, Leon introduced us to ALS Bike Trek MN prior to 2013.  We started raising money in 2013 and as of 2025 have raised a cumulative total of more than $100,000.  In 2025, my sister, Lynn also passed away from ALS 

Will you join Mark & Lynn's Team?  It's not just for fun, we are supporting research for a treatment and cure of ALS.  This is Lynn and Mark before ALS in 2004.

This is Mark & Rita in 2005.

Join Mark & Lynn’s Team September 6, 2025 as we ride to support research for a treatment and cure of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).  In 2024 my sister, Lynn, began to have trouble swallowing and breathing. She lost a lot of weight and was diagnosed in March '25 and she passed April '25. We thought we had more time with her.  Tests to eliminate other diseases culminate with ALS diagnosis,  in 2005 for Mark and 2025 for Lynn.  Mark passed away in 2007. We will ride from Scandia MN and you will find more information at the Hiawatha Bicycling Club ride calendar for September 6, 2025.

There will be four routes: 53 Miles, 43 Miles, 28 Miles and 10 Miles.

You can find the route map and cue sheet at https://www.hiawathabike.org/Ride-Calendar by clicking on September 6.   Distances will be confirmed prior to ride.
