I had the opportunity to go mountain biking, down hill no less, with
Bobby McMullen (legally blind Santa Cruz "Free Agent" rider) earlier this summer. Some friends of mine were taking him shuttling in Pemberton and asked if I wanted to go. What an amazing experience! It really put riding, and life, in to perspective. It wasn't about racing or being the best but instead about what sports should be and that's having fun doing something you love.
I'm not trying to steal your thunder but instead share a little story of mine. It is truly amazing what can be accomplished with a little dedication. You guys are truly inspirational and I'm sure a lot of hockey players, young and old, could learn a lot from you!
BTW, I've sent you a PM regarding your raffle tickets.
