Greetings OBRA,
After nearly six years away from Portland on military recall, I'll be returning this Fall.
In the past year, I've been riding for a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization called Team 4Mil (www.team4mil.org) which is dedicated to helping combat wounded Veterans recover, rehabilitate, and reintegrate through cycling.
In 2013, our Team broke the Race Across America 8-person Team record. Further, we helped an 8-person wounded Veteran Team complete RAAM as well. We were generously supported by ASSOS, FRS, Garmin, Honey Stinger, and a handful of other fine organizations/individuals.
In 2014, we're creating chapters in a half-dozen cities. With a focus on ultra-endurance races (Dirty Kansa, Gran Fondo Whistler, Gran Fondo New York, Gran Fondo San Diego, RAW, and RAO) and events, mentoring as well as raising funds for wounded Veterans, and breaking a few course records (Race Across the West, Race Across Oregon, and FC 508).
I'm currently exploring interest in Portland.
If you would be interested joining or supporting such an organization, please contact me via Email at: impuskas@yahoo.com
Regards,
Jonathan C. Puskas
