Awwwww...this is the one sent to you. Do you know that me and Ryan Vanpraet have been talking off and on all day long? He wore Jon Blais's number 179 at the Kona race this year...unfortunately Ryan DNF'd. His father passed away of ALS earlier this year too. Now Ryan won't be able to race any longer as a solo. His vision is all but gone and he will only be able to do it as a tandem with someone. Very sad, but he is not feeling sorry for himself, he is soldiering on for sure!

Thanks for the reminder. I needed that.

Very cool :-)
An amazing man and such a supportive family. That is one of my favorite stories. I didn't know him but I think about him often.
