Mike Myers lives and works in Boston and was a few days into a bike tour when I spotted him near Pine Valley, California and asked him where he was going. He told me he was on his way to Florida and, believe it or not, he recognized the voice and it turned out that Mike was a big fan of this podcast. We immediately became a huge fan of Mike and want to support him during his quest to raise money for cancer research. You can listen to Mike’s story here and his blog is at www.mjmcycle4cancer.blogspot.com . Be safe out there, Mike!
