It's because of his mountain biking, which he likes but only really started doing this year because he started high school & there is a HS mt biking team. His 9 year old sister asked where Durango was and when he told her, she burst into tears, she had no idea that college might mean going far away. But that school has no velodrome, so questionable whether he would go there anyway.
Well at least she's not going to have to pay for college.
this is awesome, i wish i was
a) into bikes like this when i was his age and
b) that colleges/universities around nyc had cycling teams (there might be i just dont know about them), especially MTB
i almost joined the track (running) team in HS but then i discovered cutting school and pot so obviously priorities changed lol
