I just wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to Lites privateer Gavin Gracyk. Gavin's family lives in Blissfield which is just a stone throw away from where I grew up in Coshocton, OH. I was just talking to my mom back home last week and told about the hometown rider and she was excited to see the young man doing well @ Anaheim. I called as I do every Sunday and she told me the terrible news that Gavin's father had passed on losing his bout with Lou Gehrigs Disease. My grandma also passed on from ALS, so it kinda hit close to home. Gavin, we're thinking about you and your family. Look to the skies above and keep your dreams alive. Ride hard #273!!
This year my son and I will start racing together and will cherish every minute of it. The number 273 will motivate the both of us and will be somewhere on our bikes.
Thanks for the long read,
Chad
