One legged Kenyan Mountainbiker to ride Leadville 100






A quick note to let you know about Ibrahim Wafula who is something of a legend in Kenya. He's here in the US and preparing to race in the US after a life changing surgery that allowed him to be fitted with a prosthetic leg. Check out the video of him hauling ass in Kenya on a mountainbike on the road against road riders. He taught himself how to ride with one leg on a single speed 50 pound bike and started racing and beating people with it. Also read the story of how he got to the US, and the work he is doing for other Kenyans with physical Disabilites. http://www.iwafula.com/index.htm This guy is really an inspiration.



Speaking of inpiration, while you are at it head on over to Tom Ritchey's site at Project Rwanda, http://www.projectrwanda.org/ to buy some coffee and make a donation!!









All is well here. Katie has decided that there are a lot of great foods out there, and has gone from being a really picky eater to trying everything on everybody's plate. After 2 years of not getting her to touch ice cream, its her favorite new word. Those chips, salsa and guacamole were a hit as well:)
