THE FORECAST CALLS for storms.
It's the day before the last Bo Bikes Bama, our final opportunity to ride our bikes with the greatest athlete of all time. In our hotel room in Auburn, my teenage son, Austin, reassembles his road bike, broken down and carefully packed for the flight from Idaho.
After 14 years, the motleyest fondo in cycling is coming to an end. When we lived in Alabama, our family did Bo Jackson's charity ride every single year. Over the past seven years, we'd missed the spring ride and the community it created.
