Reason No. 11 to Ride

Reason number 11 to ride is you meet amazing people.

I’ve been fortunate enough to meet and cycle with a man who has a fabulous story about his road to recovery.

Joe doesn’t wear the fact that he is an ex-Olympian on his sleeve or boast about his being part of Team Simple Green. Instead he told me isn’t one of those “jerk cyclists” and would enjoy a ride or two with me. Early in our friendship he sent me his story where a head injury took him off his bike and his racing path to a world of epilepsy and surgeries.
