Rider talk.

Richard Alm.

q: How has this experience positively impacted you thus far?

a: This experience has positively impacted me in many ways.
Just focusing on a goal is a very powerful thing for anyone
to do. If you have never set a goal and followed through, I
highly recommend it. The goal can be anything, which makes
the concept so difficult for some. But setting small
achievable goals to start is the best way to set oneself up
for success.

Also, meeting so many amazing people along the way. At
different functions or even people recognizing us from the
exposure so far. Having touched someone and then having
that person thank or express themselves to you is a great
feeling.

q: if you had one wish for the ride, whatwould it be?

a: My one wish for the ride to for everyone to be safe. The
obvious wish is for complete success across the board from
funds raised to riding into Stanley Park. But first and
foremost, I wish for everyone to make it home to his or her
loved ones.

q: what is your biggest concern

a: My biggest concern heading into this adventure would be the
possibility that the entire world doesn?t hear or see it.
This is such a huge attempt and the impact is so great. All
we need is for everyone to take a couple moments out of his
or her life to take witness, pay it forward and share the
knowledge.

q: who has surprised you the most?

a: The one person who has surprised me the most
during this event is Kyle. But to be honest, I?m not that
surprised. But what I really am is so proud. I am proud to
know him, proud to be apart of the team that he is on and
proud for his family, namely Taylor. Kyle is a wonderful
man and his reaction will be felt by all when we roll into
Stanley Park. Keep your cameras focused on him!
