REtinitis Pigmentosa(RP) has slowed me down. The vision loss has me at legally blind now. I stopped riding until last Saturday. Motivated from watching a video about Bobby McMullen, I had enough. Reached out to me love friends that ride. One agreed to guide me on a trail. We met up Initially flowed him on his unicycle. Then he switched over to his Speciaized Epic. Despite the lack of riding for 3 years, I kept my Surly 1x1 on his tail for the most part. I don't know what is crazier, the changes in bikes over a 6 year period, that my wife allowed me to ride agin, or that I only wrecked a few times. My friend was freaking when I tried to tackle a tree. Survived with only scratches and a blood blister under a finger nail.
Link below is to my Instagram post of the take off
Does anybody else ride their own bike with the help of guides? If so, what verbal connands do you use between guide and blind follower?
