Tomorrow is TerraTrike Riderfest in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This will be my first group ride/event. I am looking forward to it. My goal is to complete all thirteen miles of the course. I've only just started riding and maybe this will lead to more events in the future.
Because of my stability issues, caused by my ataxia, I haven't participated in anything remotely close to this in a long, long time. As a kid and up to about 5 years ago I played a ton of sports and activities like golf, baseball, basketball, street hockey, blah blah blah. But now, because of my trike, I am able to do something more active again.
My wife will be joining me on this ride (she'll be on an upright bike but...) and possibly there will be others there with movement disorders, maybe even with ataxia. We'll see. I'd love to be able to transfer this more into helping the small but way too large ataxia community, but let's get through this first "challenge" and go from there.
