Greetings again from ‘mission control’ here in Eugene, OR. Due to some unexpected health issues Rob will not be continuing in the Trans America Bike Race. It ultimately came down to some significant swelling in his knee and numbness in his foot that made this decision.
After taking the day to try and recover in Darby, MT. and with much deliberation with his wife and support crew, the conclusion was reached that proceeding would have a high potential to yield a much larger injury that could have long term effects.
Upon his return, Rob will provide more updates about this adventure, his gear and a deeper analysis of Trans Am. Thanks so much to everyone who cheered him on along the way, it’s been extremely encouraging to Rob and it is with a heavy heart I relay this message to you.
Also, a huge Thank You to his sponsors for helping to make this possible, as mentioned above there will be further write ups and reviews about Rob’s kit when he returns home and gets sorted. (Tags below)
Good luck to all the participants in Trans Am, be sure to show them your support. Best of luck and be safe out there!
Stay tuned for more updates.
