Caryn Galeckas leads CEM Staff Agony Rider
team
For the 20th year, Caryn Galeckas, CEM Office Manager,
is riding her bicycle for the Encounter
Ranch students. She has pedaled 4,452 Agony
miles and is the all-time top fund-raiser,
having provided, through her sponsors,
$132,740 in all. She says, “Many, many
years ago God put in my heart a desire to
help young people struggling with life. He
also gave me a body designed for endurance
athletics, and a brain that somehow enjoys
pushing limits. The Agony ride is a special
opportunity to combine those traits and
desires.”
Maintenance Supervisor Grady Todd, about to become the father of a
third child, will be focused on the July
30-31 event to ride again, his tenth Agony.
Joining these two seasoned veterans are
relative biking novices Jessica Colvin (Food
Service Director), and Mike Petrillo (CEM
Executive Director). Jessica confesses,
“I’m not a bicycle rider. I enjoy going for
a hike, a run, or a walk when I want some
exercise. But after riding only a few miles
my body complains…and this is just the
beginning… So I keep my focus on the goal
set before me to help the CEM students have
a chance at a new life in Christ.”
Mike Petrillo was a rider in the 1990 Agony. He muses, “It
already hurts. The old bones and joints
creak and pop as I begin my training for the
Agony Ride. But I have to do this. My
daughter, Meredith, challenged my wife,
Susie, and me to ride with her in the
Agony. ‘It’s a celebration!’ she said. It
is five years post cancer diagnosis for
her. How could I not ride! God is so
good! He gives strength to those who are
fighting all kinds of battles—including the
battles of our Christian Encounter
Ministries students. We are riding for
them.”

Mighty
masses run Agony
Bicycling in strong wind and heat, then through the cold, calm
night and into the bright morning—despite
one’s exhaustion—is declared “insane” by
some who have never done it—for love. And
it would be an unwise attempt without lots
of dependable support. That is what Agony
saggers provide.
 Nurses evaluate the over-all health of riders; map-tackers and ham
radio folks keep track of their whereabouts
on the road; computer operators tally miles
and pledges; massage therapists soothe sore
muscles; a host of people keep the cyclists
fed and hydrated; and the “pep squad” buoys
spirits and keeps weary ones from tumbling
off their bikes as they approach a sag
station. Motorcyclists patrol the course;
and bike mechanics fix flawed bicycles.
All this effort would be meaningless without
the financial backing of a host of people
who believe in the cause—the healing of
hurting young people. So, join this
“heavenly host” and ride, sag, or support
the event as you are able. It could be the
highlight of your summer!
