VIP On The Race Podium

As a post-world-tour honor, myself and my bike got to occupy first, second and third place on the podium at the Downer Classic race at the Tour of America’s Dairyland. I also had the chance to share my story with the crowd.

I’ve always been impressed that many world-class cyclists and teams that don’t qualify for the Tour de France come to Wisconsin for our excellent race series also including Super Week starting soon.

I’ve been honored in so many ways since I’ve returned that I can’t express my gratitude enough. One thing I am especially grateful for is all the stories of people that have been inspired by my trip and book. I’ve always imagined that people didn’t need to make all my “mistakes” and that my trials, tribulations and life experience would help jump-start other people’s lives.

The fruits of inspiration

I’ve never wanted to measure my life by money, which lately has been an overly idealistic philosophy; nonetheless, I believe in measuring my life by new experiences and new opportunities.

Were you ever injured

Above is a picture of the inside of my knee. Almost two years ago I was knocked off my bicycle by a reckless motorist who ran a stop sign. As you can see the cartilage was torn and frayed and I had to have the loose pieces removed. It almost ended my dreams of riding my bicycle around the world.
