We're getting national attention! From the tippy top! How cool is that??!?
Today we're talking with Steve Taylor! Steve is the President and CEO of the entire Arthritis Foundation. He was the first CEO to join us on tour when he rode with us on Day 1 next year. We talk about his experience riding Day 1, and then we take a deep dive into what it is the Arthritis Foundation really does on a macro level.
Please enjoy my discussion with CEO Steve!

Lot's of people aren't sure if they are capable of riding 525 miles down the California Coast on a bike over 8 days, then they learn that some of these crazy people do it on a unicycle!
Today I talk with Mark Massie, my father-in-law who challenged me to my first CCC. I never learned how to ride a uncycle, but I love following Mark on a riding and watching people watch him. I found that when people learn that he does it on a uni, a whole world of possibilities open up as people confront their own self doubt.
Mark is quite the character, and I'm sure you're going to enjoy him as much as I do.

Today we conclude our discussion with Robert Pendley! We talk about teams on the CCC and, for the first time, bump into one of the negative aspects of teams on the CCC. In addition to supporting the Arthritis Foundation, Robert has been envolved with the Redlands Bicycle Classic for years and shares his experiences there too.
You're going to love Robert Pendley!

Robert Pendley is easily one of the friendliest people you're going to meet. He's one of the original members of Team Carter and brings a lot to the foundation. Join us for Part 1 of my conversation with him.

Today we learn a little more about Dennis Ehling and why he does what he does for the AF.
