Re: [RC] A bit WAY OT - Barbara McCrary

Last year, there were two riders on Swanton Pacific 75 who rode and finished with mechanical issues: one rode with two shoulder joint replacements and two hip replacements. Another rode with one hip replacement. The former rider was, I would guess, in his 50s and the latter was in her mid-70s. Pretty amazing, I would say.

Subject: [RC] A bit WAY OT



This (as the subject line indicated) is way OT, but does anyone know of any
rider that has finished the Tevis after coming back from a kidney transplant
(and a diabetic to boot)? Curious and enquiring minds and all that...


From a purely inspiring standpoint, would anyone be willing to volunteer
ages or possibly even major or even minor medical issues having had to deal
with as part of their Tevis experience? Not out of morbid curiosity by any
means, but for those of us facing the near seeming impossible odds of
completing the goal of Tevis with a few more than the ordinary obstacles in
our paths. Your stories would mean much to all of us I am sure.
