Unfortunately, I am reminded almost daily of the risks associated with cycling when I see or hear a story about a cyclist who is killed or injured while riding. My own journey to participate in Race Across America was inspired by a great friend and mentor Paul Cornish, who was killed on August 31, 2017 while riding his bike in Oceanside, California.
I would like to ride each segment of RAAM in memory of a fallen cyclist. If you would like me to dedicate a section of my ride to a friend or loved one, please send me their name, some background information, and a picture if possible. If there is a particular segment of the race where you would like me to remember this person, let me know. Otherwise I will assign them to an available spot. My crew will remind me of the person I am riding in honor of as we pass each Time Station. Please send an email to jenorr99@gmail.com.
