It would be 7 years ago, this month, I began training to ride for the original team of Brendie's B Bops. Since then, a lot of miles have fallen behind my bike. A lot of new friends were gained and the team grew explosively from the 7 or so riders that first year. Lots of memories have been gained.
As some of you know, I have had leg issues for several years. Last year, my knee blew out on me and a few months ago, an infection brought on by complications of varicose veins set me back considerably. Now I have to make the announcement with deep regrets that I will not be riding MS this year. The doctor seems to think the biking may aggravating the knee too much. So for now, I will be retiring from the bicycling sport. It has been an honor to ride for Brendan and all those with MS. It also has been a pleasure to ride with the team these past years and wish you all great success in the future events.
Ride fast and weave.
