Lamar Estridge hasn't added a story.
An active duty Army Special Forces Soldier that was born and raised
in Dayton, Ohio where the probabilities of success are diminished
everyday due to high crime and high school drop out rates. Growing up
in Dayton, Ohio was challenging as a young male. I faced many
influences that pushed me towards the street life. If I would have
made the choice of violence and drugs it may have gotten me killed or
landed me in prison.
Despite my environment, influences, and various challenges
through GOD I was able to beat the odds and take a leap of faith and
CHOSE MY CHANGE! I want every child and adult to know that if they
want CHANGE then they have to choose it and pursue it no matter what
it may be!
I am riding to encourage and inspire youth; there are
alternative routes. Rather you make a choice to join the military,
college, or cycling! You need a willing heart and the fortitude to
want to be difference.
“If you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, if
you can’t crawl then cycle! But whatever you do never stop and never
quit!” Modified from MLK (Lamar Estridge 2013). With that being said,
I refuse to give up on what I set out to do because of some ignorant
people! The initial plan was to travel to Dayton, Ohio and back
logging 1700 miles before the 8th of August. The Change will be to do
the same distance locally in Northwest Florida/Alabama area. I will
post videos and pictures of my daily ride as I still break boundaries
and stretch limits. If you are interested in join me for the ride
(even if it’s for a smaller portion of the ride) or would like to hand
off a bottle water as I ride by please inbox me. I plan to restart on
Sunday July 27, 2014.
The purpose of this ride is to raise money for the Crestview
Community Cycling Club and Crayons to Classrooms in Dayton, Ohio. Each
of these organizations are non-profit organizations that are designed
to help their communities through education, fitness, and school
supplies. Donations of all dollar amounts are welcomed.
