The Bubba Ride 2013 started off as a slow and intimidating endeavor. 2000 feet of climbing over 2.25 miles just to use a trail to get to the Bay Ridge Trail initiated us to the challenge that laid ahead of us. However, difficult the climbing, technicality of the trail or steepness of the the decent, we realized that it paled in comparison to what Bubba has been dealing with for the last 8 months.
I couldn't have imagined to have taken on this challenge with someone so passionate about people and life as Sergio. He displayed his versatility with a wide range of skill sets that allowed us to be as successful as possible on this adventure.
The Bay Ridge Trail provided a beautiful backdrop to our event. The diversity of individuals we interacted with, different biomes, and wide range of weather. Certainly we had some interesting camping situations based on the previous factors.
I would like to thank my wife and family for providing the opportunity to complete this adventure. Our thoughts were with Bubba throughout this event. The recognition of what happened to John Dunbar certainly had an impact on us. Rest in Peace Mike Pace and thank you for sharing some fun times with me.
