Great story. I wonder if they'll ever re-run that episode of "Intervention".

Great story. I've had the good fortune to find myself suffering in Chad's wake on the River Ride. In fact, on a ride early this fall he rode up next to me and asked "Hey, does this still go out past the Airport?" Uh, yep. "Great. I thought so. I used to do this ride a long time ago but it's been years."

I had no idea who it was. I later found out. And over the fall and winter, he was just killing people on the River Ride. Good for Chad. I hope he stays clean and sober. Bike racing is just icing on the cake.

That was him at the Early Birds in the Amore Vita kit? Cool.

I rode the River Ride a few weeks ago and saw him out there in a McDonald's kit. My buddy Tim told me all about him. Hope he pulls through.

Great story, there's light at the end of the tunnel!
I wish him the best in his new life.
