Ride with Larry

American Bicyclist magazine had an interesting article about a cyclist with Parkinson's and the ride across South Dakota he will be doing in June. They are making a movie about it.

L.A Times article on Larry's Ride

Ride with Larry, the movie

Pretty sobering, yet inspiring. The American Bicyclist article also has a checklist to see if you might have the symptoms of Parkinson's.

Thanks for sharing. Hope that we can all find that kind of courage if things get tough. Helps to put the small discomforts of life in perspective.

And personally, I found it a literally life-changing read.
