ERIC CAGLE
Eric is another newcomer to the Gears 2 a Cure riding team. He is currently in the process of changing his last name to Zagle to truly become a member of the "ZZZ" team. Eric has been riding for five years and says, "I'm excited to support MS research by participating in Ride Across America." He has known Jeff Zaniker since they would drive up to grad school together. Eric and his high school sweetheart, Renee have been married for 24 years. They currently reside in Allen, TX with their 4 children. Nathan is the oldest at 16, followed by Evan-14, Amelia-12 and Morgan-10. Eric's top travel locations are Beaver Creek where the family enjoys skiing and prior to kids he and Renee lived in Belgium for 3 years. The 3 things he wants to be sure to bring with him are his phone, some ibuprofen and as much energy as he can muster. Besides the finish line, Eric is most looking forward to the sunsets. In Annapolis, he plans to celebrate with his family and then hang around the area a little longer for a recovery vacation. They plan to check out the 4th of July fireworks in D.C. before heading home. He has two goals for this year's RAAM ride. First is an ambitious goal to raise $20k and the second is to survive the race. Hopefully both will be achieved when the team crosses the finish line in Annapolis. The Disney villain Eric most associates with is Jafar. Thankfully he is leaving his hypnotic cobra staff at home on this trip. Welcome to the team! |
