We hope to see you on Tuesday, February 28, on Zoom for an educational and social online conversation about how to train and prepare for endurance cycling events.
Join our experts, triathlete and coach Bob Duncan and competitive cyclist and personal trainer María Del P. Vázquez, as they discuss how to create or customize a training schedule, how to prepare yourself and your bike for long, multi-day rides and more. We’ll also take your questions.
While the intent is to help new AND returning Pan Ohio Hope Riders jumpstart their 2023 ride training, you do not need to be a registered Pan Ohio Hope Ride (POHR) participant to join us for this virtual event. All budding and veteran cyclists are invited to attend to learn and even share their tips.

Bob Duncan, Panelist
In January Bob joined the American Cancer Society Pan Ohio Hope Ride team as Senior Development Manager. Bob loves hard work and considers cancer “a scourge that touches us all,” saying that he wants to use his skills to work himself out of a job (by ending cancer as we know it).
A triathlete and former Marine, Bob coaches three professional triathletes, one top American Masters marathoner, and Andrew Starykowicz, the first American to complete an Ironman in under eight hours. Additionally, he coached a Race Across America or RAAM (an ultra-distance road cycling event) team that finished second overall.
María Del P. Vázquez, Panelist
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, María has been an athlete her whole life, starting as a runner and eventually becoming an endurance cyclist. While successfully balancing work, family, and the demands of competitive sports, María has participated in a myriad of running, cycling, and triathlon events – including the Reve 2012 Tour de France Women’s Project, the Paris-Brest-Paris.
María also has set speed records as the first female cyclist (age 18-49 on a standard bike) to traverse Ohio both East to West AND West to East. A personal trainer by profession, she continues to participate in endurance cycling events as both rider and/or support crew for others.
