Hi folks, Maybe I overdosed on Bananas or Eggs. Either way the stomach went sideways this afternoon on top of some other significant pain. Made it a big struggle to ride the bike. Rachel drug me out and got me to 100 miles. Still pretty toasted. Maybe I just ate too much healthy food this year. I felt much better last year on Peanut M&Ms and little sausages. Maybe also the Reses Pieces kept me rolling last year. We are all fine just wish I had got in more miles today. Final amount 100 miles. Many thanks for all of your prayers. Daniel Jamison
some shady forest time to push through the pain.

praying for reconciliation and restoration in broken relationships.
thank you all for the prayers. most food is prepped. starting by in the wee hours of the morning. on the bike all day tomorrow.
some last training rides before the coming week. prayers much appreciated. Clean and service my bike today. Have a great week
Hello folks, Thanks for checking in. I will continue my training for the rest of June and July. Once a week I hope to get in a 40-50 mile ride on the bike. This is all mountain bike trails and primarily dirt roads. So far the bike and body are holding up well. Tomorrow I am going to try and do a 50 mile ride and see how my body handles it. My bigger concern is food and nutrition as many calories are burned. I will be doing the same loop three times in an area near my home. Thank you for your prayers and support to CEM. All the best. Daniel
Hello my name is Daniel
Thank you for taking the time to visit my link and consider donating to Christian Encounter Ranch.
I have known about CEM since 2008 and rode my first Agony in 2010. I also rode remotely in 2020 and 2021 to help raise money for the Ranch. My family has always had wonderful relationships with the people surrounding Christian Encounter Ministries. Every person we know who works at or supports CEM have all been the most compassionate and caring friends. The students and interns at the ranch have amazing opportunities to lean into their relationship with Jesus and make wonderful life choices anew.
Last year in 2023 I was able to make some new friends and spend time with old friends while we rode in Loyalton. It was refreshing and a very big challenge for me. By God's Grace and lots of cups of soup I rode 368 miles in 24 hours. Many thanks to those who helped all day and all night. Especially those who stopped to check on me at the end and pick me up for the ride back to Loyalton.
This year in 2024 I will be riding virtually from my home area in rural Uganda. I will be alone on my mountain bike and the whole ride is dirt roads. With help from friends and family we will make a base camp at my friends coffee farm. I will be doing loops of 12 miles each and then stopping in for a refuel. Likely I will ride around 14 hours from very early in the morning to dusk. This is in an area along the border with the Congo and not particularly safe after dark.
I am happy to donate my bike and my body for 24 hours this year. Please consider sponsoring me as I aim to raise $10,000 usd by riding 150 miles at the end of July.
Thank you for your prayers for safety as we ride our bicycles in Loyalton and focus to stay on task with our pace and goals.
Peace in Christ.
Daniel Jamison
