Thank You - Tour de Cure 2024

by // 1 Comment


Today, I participated in the Tour de Cure 2024 with Team VMware to support the American Diabetes Association (ADA).


For Team VMware, we raised a total of $24,080 for this amazing charity and a huge thanks to Paul Turner (VP of Product at VMware) for organizing the team!

I also wanted to take this opportunity and thank all of my supporters who donated and helped me reach my personal fundraising goal of $10,000! The final amount raised was $10, 575 and I found out at the event that I was the 5th highest fundraiser, which would not have been possible without all of your support, so THANK YOU! 🙏


I ended up going for the 50K (32miles) since had a pretty severe ankle sprain a couple of months (before signing up for the event) and I was trying to avoid any climbing, but there was still a fair amount in the 50K, but I think I held up pretty well finishing in 2hrs 😅

VMware 2021 Cycling Kit

by // 12 Comments

It looks like while I was out on PTO, the VMware 2021 Cycling Kits (Men/Woman) went live on VMware's official Merchandise Store. I know many of you have been asking about prior VMware Cycling Kits and you now have the opportunity to ride in style with the latest VMware 2021 Cycling Kits.

UPDATE (08/25/21) - I just found out there was a small window for ordering the cycling kits which officially ended on 8/20 and was only extended for a few more days. Unfortunately, it looks like the vendor is no longer accepting any orders. Apologies for this as I had only found out after coming back from PTO earlier this week and was not aware of the deadline.

Note: I also saw that the description for the bibs, shorts and jersey all list "LIMITED TIME", so I imagine these will not be around forever and if you are interested, definitely get your order in as soon as you can

VMware 2017 Cycling Kit

I know many of you have reached out over the years and have expressed interest in the VMware Cycling Kits which I have written about here & here. In fact, I still get pinged about this topic every couple of months even though the last time we had ran an order was back in 2014! Obviously, the demand is still high and who can blame you, the kits look freaking amazing 🙂

Earlier this week, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that we were working on a new 2017 VMware Cycling Kit! Kasey Linden, who works in our Federal team was leading this effort and was gauging interests internally. I was definitely interested and I had also suggested that we open this up to the general public as historically it was kept internal for logistical purposes. Not only did Kasey love the idea, but he plans to have the cycling kits available directly on the VMware Merchandise Store for anyone to purchase, which is huge if you ask me!

As of right now, the designs are currently being worked on with the vendor and once that has been approved, it will go live on the VMware Store. We are hoping this should happen around mid to late September.
