Hello…. just watched the movie, very inspirational. I have run marathons, cross country ski raced and bike raced….. This past Xmas I had a bad fall and broke my hip. For recovery I rode my bike on a wind trainer for the last three months…. I live in Thunder Bay Ontario, Canada….so winter is harsh at times. Recently I have started to ride out side… after watching the movie I have been been inspired to ride a 12 hour ride around a two Km loop in a park near my house. I am raising money for a friend who has breast and bone cancer. There is benefit for her, but I am unable to make it….so this something I’m doing on my own. It is nothing like you and the others have done…. but it is a start, maybe one day I will attempt the Trans America Race . Thanks so much….loved the blog. Sincerely… Dave Campbell…. P.S I have a Facebook you can check it out… I’m not a weirdo either LoL… 🙂
Hey Juliana, Just viewed the movie Inspired to Ride. Wonderful story. I had seen reports of your first ride and was so impressed. Hope you’re doing well. Thank you for being such an inspiration. Please let me know if you need anything. Thanks again. Ken
Wonderful writing – and riding! I just watched Inspired to Ride last night and was wondering what had happened with Jesse during the snapped chain incident, and how you overcame your pinched nerve. You are truly a remarkable person, and truly an inspiration!
Watched Inspired to Ride last month, and now I have finished reading the blog–where to next? Slightly sad now with nothing to read about riding. Hope you are journaling about some adventure somewhere for us! Granted, I know it’s not your responsibility. But just wanted to let you know these writings are so inspirational!
