"I biked as a kid in WV to get "away" - for the freedom, solitude and self reliance. I met my wife in 1994 and moved to Iowa, started our family and lost my biking connection. My weight tipped the scales at 450lbs and I wasn't well. In 2005 I had a massive "widowmaker " heart attack and needed a heart transplant or I would not survive. I got my heart in August of 2008 and a second chance at life. I spent a lot of time on a stationary bike during rehab and got back into biking and joined
Des Moines Cycle Club. Anything is possible on a bike. But the best part is the relationships built on 2 wheels."
