We got some bad news yesterday that one of our sponsors, Ryan Barnett, who works with Blue Bicycles along with Akona Biospeed and Areus had been seriously injured on his bike. He was hit by a landscape company’s truck while warming up for the Roswell Crit in Georgia last Saturday.

Ryan was one of the first people to show his support for Vanderkitten last year at InterBike by giving us a ton of free equipment that allows us all to race our bikes and live our dreams. He spent several hours during InterBike chatting with us about our goals for the team, what we needed to get there and how he could help us. Anyone who’s been to InterBike knows how hard it is to devote 10 or 15 mins to a single person let alone hours. My heart and prayers along with those from the whole Vanderkitten team go out to Ryan and his family during this time.

GET WELL RYAN! We are thinking about you.
