This past week I had quite a few people telling me or rather reminding me that my anniversary was coming up. When they said that I had to ask what they were talking about. The date of the accident they would say. You know what....that is one day that I will never consider an anniversary. Ever. To me anniversaries are days you celebrate things that make you happy. The day you got married, the day you met the love of your life, the day you won the World Championships or something. Just something good you know, but as far as I’m concerned today is the day that disabled me from riding my bike and it was anything but a happy day.

When I woke up this morning I did my best to not think about what happened to me a year ago and the traumatic experience that it was. I spent time with my friends hanging out at the pool and was thankful that I had them around. I am lucky to have the family and friends that I have. I am fortunate to have the support from everyone in the cycling industry and blessed to have met a ton of friends through racing. All of you have helped me to think about every day since and working very hard to get back to that place that I once was and that is being happy on my bike.

I hope you all had a great weekend and rode your bikes till you couldn’t ride anymore.

Cheers!
