Today, I went for a bike ride with @perpetualweekend. It was my first time seeing Jim since he suffered a serious spinal cord injury last winter that left him paralyzed. While we cruised around the trails of Park City, he said his experience on human powered expeditions had taught him important lessons for his recovery. For instance, you have to stay organized, get your systems dialed, but more importantly, you have to accept an uncertain outcome. His doctors didn't know if he'd ever regain use of his legs again. It was so inspiring to hear how he maintains a positive outlook, and watch how he slayed it on this mountain trike he borrowed from the @nationalabilitycenter (my apologizes for the shaky video…) Jim, thanks for sharing some stoke on the trails today. And I can't wait to ski together this winter.
