Larry is my roommate and I could not ask for a more considerate person to spend 7 weeks with. He is neat and organized – exactly the opposite of me. I admire the way he rides every day – he its it out no matter what and is 10 years my senior. The only thing that really seems to upset him is when his IPAD acts up. Larry was on the Today show and was interviewed by AL Roker regarding why he is riding. I also met Larry’s wife Kay when she was in Santa Fe for a few days- very nice lady. Larry told me that she was a little concerned when she saw a few of the roads we cycled on.
