2008 Season

Officially my season will start on April 19th when I travel to Oklahoma City and present a program before a group of orthopedic surgeons at the University Of Oklahoma Medical Center. I will also be doing a riding clinic for amputees while I am there. My surgeon is there and he happens to be a former cyclist. His name is Will Ertl and he is one of the nation’s top trauma surgeons.
The following month I will I travel to Walter Reed and Bethesda and lead a group of wounded vets on a 2 day 115 mile ride to Gettysburg on May 3-5th It is the same group I helped lead last year.
On June 15th I will lead 40 cyclist across America for the American Lung Assoication's Big Ride Across America. I willlead the group across America and then return to Seattle by August 15th.

That is when my real riding season begins. I will then head south from Seattle and stop at all the major cities along the coast, doing ride clinics and motivational speaking. Once past LA I will solo down the Pan American Bike route, to Guatemala and a friend’s Prosthetic clinic. Once there I will spend several weeks working in the clinic and documenting his work. October I will fly to Hong Kong and a accept the standing invitations I have to cycle from China to Vietnam and Thailand and Laos. While in Southeast Asia I will visit and document several Governmental and Nonprofit amputee clinics there. It is going to be a great year!
