My name is Matt and I have been riding bike on and off for the past 6 years. It has only been in the last 2 years that I have started to ride bike consistently. My favorite/longest ride or race that I have completed would have been the ride to Cincy last year. On the 2nd day of the trip, it was one of those rare days where training and conditions were perfect. The relay group that I was in was able to complete our section of the ride with a rather quick pace, which allowed us to be able to do some sightseeing. In addition to riding my bike, I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee and I coach Pole Vault at Millersville University. As a teacher in the school district, I see the benefits from the great work of the Together Initiative, and I feel participation in the ride is my form of supporting the cause. I look forward to riding again this year with The Together Initiative to help raise funds and awareness to the cause.
