Riding with New Friends



Stephen and Ben joined up with Gundy and I as we cycled to McKee, Kentucky. Stephen has brain cancer(1 year 4months) and we met at the brain cancer support group at Gilda's Club in Louisville last week. He is a cyclist and amazing as he just finished some of his meds(but not all) and he rode 32 miles with some tough hills. With him was his friend Ben who at 72 is super fit. He kept me company as I take the hills slowly but he zoomed ahead when he wanted to speak to the others. Both so impressive. We ended our day together lunching at Opal's Cafe. They are Kentuckians and taught us about some local foods and the sights and sounds of Kentucky. Thanks guys.
