After my bike accident Craig gave me my life back. Kate, Kelly & Lori, my therapists worked with me every day. Kate convinced me to believe in myself and realize that I would recover. Kelly always talked with me and fostered my hope. Lori always spent time with my wife and me and made us feel like family. When I left Craig I really thought that I would sale my bikes. Two months later I was riding again. Last year I accumulated 2000 miles between March and December. At the moment my bike is my favorite therapist. Check out my video on YouTube ,title: On the Road Again, Phillip Pekala. It demonstrates the importance of Craig for my recovery.
Riding in Salida as a virtual participant we covered 25 miles, and climbed 1592ft in 3hr. besides riding for Craig, we rode to honor the memory of Heather Anderson a member of our team who was planning to ride but unfortunately passed away unexpectedly two weeks prior to the event.
