My dad is my inspiration. He's 77 (I'm 44) and has ridden many multi week cross country tours and charity rides. Right now he's on an ABB east coast tour that spans 1600 miles over 3 weeks. When I'm deciding whether or not to roll my lazy butt out of the bed to get my 13 miler in before work, I think of him. I also think of the wounded warriors and folks who overcome so many things and still ride, run, etc. A guy here locally that I always see here in town who rides with a prosthetic leg.
I have some goals for some upcoming rides that are my milestones and goals.
