I need to mention a couple of very courageous people in today's entry: First of all you might recall Hank for whom we dedicated a training ride. Sadly, Hank passed away after a valiant battle against Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. :-( Hank had maintained a website describing his cancer journey so please pay tribute to him by reading his story, and I know you will be inspired.
The other person is Jo, a fellow TNT participant who had to drop out of the Death Ride group LAST year due to a devastating crash during a training ride. She was lifted from the crash site by helicopter and she doesn't remember the tragedy to this day. After her recovery, she not only got back on her bike, she returned to the SAME ride where she had crashed before and FINISHED safely after mastering a very precarious descent. WOW!
What an honor to be among such a great group of people who manage to inspire both in person and in spirit. Team in Training is truly all about ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
