I don’t know about you guys, but Tom is a hero of mine, and I can’t wait to read it. And apparently, I’m not the only one, because the Kickstarter is well past its funding goal and still has 29 more days to go!

One Ride Away From Figuring It Out will shed light on a lifetime of insights while “revealing his thoughts on the beginnings of mountain biking and other events that have shaped the bicycle as we know it today.”

“From riding off-road as a teenager, soaking up the engineering wisdom of Jobst Brandt, to designing and building Ritchey MountainBikes and the heady days of early mountain-bike racing; and from the highs and lows of business to a reawakening of purpose and spirit in Rwanda, Tom writes with humility and candor of the hard work and chance that helped him survive. And how he remains optimistic that by learning lessons from the bicycle we can change the world for the better“.
