With Dr. Niparko before the LA portion of the ride. |
The Dodgers game today was great. Dodger Chris Capuano made a generous donation and said that he
would help to get the word out. We also unexpectedly got interviewed by Yahoo
Sports. Every time we get coverage it helps the ride get more momentum.
Dr. Niparko, the surgeon who implanted my CI, joined us for
the 32-mile bike ride in LA! After the Dodgers game, he took my sister Sarah
and I out for dinner. It was wonderful spending time with the man who had such
a major impact on my life.
It's been a great few weeks for the ride. We made it
through two hard stretches to Oakland and to San Diego. The next six days I
have off are a time to rest and reflect.
Everyone is warning me about the hot weather in Arizona
but I'm remaining optimistic. I'm going to buy a headlight in case we need to
ride at night. Hopefully if we reverse out sleeping schedules we can still
sleep indoors at hotels.
