This film has been on my mind since it's inception. Little did I know that a piece called "Racing the Kansas Sun" would turn into so much. I wrote that piece from the heart and every word of it came from an experience so real that there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about those hours on the prairie. I was excited by the attention the article was receiving, but never in my wildest imagination did I think it would evolve into what it did. I was contacted by journalists from Kansas, approached by Jim Cummins, the director of the D.K. about a special category within the race designed to motivate riders to race from within, and ultimately Salsa Cycles wanted to talk about a documentary. Saying that I was flattered doesn't come close to what I felt. I was moved, honored, and reminded that people crave honesty. People are inspired by not what is magnificent and spectacular, but by what is real.
I'm humbled by the amount of people my story has touched and grateful for not only what I've experienced out on all those race courses, but more importantly in what I've found within myself.
Thank you Salsa Cycles for not only believing in me, but for seeing the "Nitty Gritty" too.
