Ride
Joe Ride!
Our friend, Joe Partridge is an avid single speed biker. Not only that
but he's on the world map as far as endurance racing on a single speed
bike. Last year he placed 3rd at the 24Hour (yes, that's riding a bike
continuously for 24 hours) World Championships.
This year he's slated to ride at least 11 races - 3 of them being 24Hour
races. Hold onto your hats people, I can't sit on a bike for more than
an hour, this man amazes me. Then the hills...and all on a single speed
bike!
Joe's a great guy anyway, then you find out how into biking he is and
you say WOW, how can anyone do that? And then you find out it's all because
you get good Founders beer at the end of each race (or whatever kind happens
to be in the Art of the Table cooler at the time). It's his incentive
- along with just doing his personal best. Every time.
We're expanding our support of Joe this year by sponsoring his team, Alger/Founders
Racing, a fabulous group of people dedicated to the sport.
