Son -
This is a pretty cool story. This is Adrien Niyonshuti and he is a professional cyclist, from Rwanda. See, Ethiopia and Rwanda are in the same Continent. They are kind of close to each other, Rwanda being a little south-west from where you were born. None-the-less, Adrien is racing Lance Armstrong and a bunch of other Europeans in a major race right now. This is one of the highest levels of cycling he can participate in. It is quite extraordinary, to say the least. Here is what he said in his first day of the race, “It was tough today.This was the first time I have done a 200km stage. It was very hard for me. I was happy just to finish.”
Now you know, and will become well aware, that cycling is my favorite pastime. He being from Rwanda, which has such an incredible history (we'll talk about this), makes his story even better. Read about him here, in this story, and you will learn a little more about his story. He is quite the inspiration. I hope you like cycling one day, and if you don't it's okay, we'll find something that you love to do.
sleep tonight, play tomorrow
