Jake’s Journal: Ride with Team Garmin and join us in the fight against MS
You'll probably never play one-on-one with an NBA star, take batting practice with a major-leaguer or play catch with an NFL quarterback. But once again, we're giving you the chance to ride next to some of the world's top cyclists. Following the USA Pro Challenge in August, Team Garmin will visit our world headquarters in Olathe, KS, and join employees for a 20-mile ride preceded by a meet-and-greet session. It's an unbelievable opportunity to ride side-by-side with the sport's best, and better yet, it will help our Bike MS team raise money to fight Multiple Sclerosis!

Here's a quick excerpt, but you have to read the rest in its entirety to truly appreciate Paul's story of Jack's day.
"We arrive an hour and a half early because… my son is 8-years-old. But just as I am thinking up creative ways to kill time, my son sees the team approaching, sporting jeans, Polos and non-cycling sunglasses. Christian Vande Velde engages my son, they have a brief exchange, and then I say, “Jack, do you know who you’re talking to?” My son looks between me and Christian with knitted brow. I tell him it’s Christian Vande Velde and, right there on the steps of the Garmin International headquarters, we all witness an actual human mind being blown." Continue reading here…
