Long Distance Arctic Ride for Autism Awareness

[spinalator]

4200 Km up to TUKTOYAKTUK. Wow

A very touching story as a man is doing a very long distance and tough ride to raise awareness for his autism, and dedicating his ride to his son. He did a test run through my neck of the woods and ended up with a broken clavicle in the summer, but has re-tooled and is ready to tackle the North in about three months.

Perhaps Dante and Zarly can give him some pointers!

What a great cause

I hope he buys a shirt that says "TUK U" (University of Tuktoyuktuk). I find them funny and sometimes giggle when I see those.

I wish him a good trip. When you have a child with disabilities it's too easy to allow it to overtake your whole life, it's good to have a release.

We also have an autistic child with other issues as well - http://www.michaelrigaud.co.uk/ - my Guzzi is my release mechanism

I look up to people like that.

Good on him for doing this.

I just noticed the last 200 km are on the Frozen River. Hopefully we have a cold winter up there!
