    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G07XcasQYLA 2016 Season StatisticsBeing able to participate in such a significant life-changing endeavor as the 2016 Ride4Gabe was certainly the highlight of my cycling year, and that led spontaneously to the establishment of a primary goal for 2016 – to ride in every county in Alabama in one year. I set this goal when I…

  • Skyway Epic and Tour de Tuscaloosa Double Header

    Skyway 2016 100 mile podium. Left-to-right: Jeff Clayton, Brian Toone, and Hefin Jones.

  • 2012 season statistics and reflection
