Falcon Autosport

May 31st - we're doing something different.

We're riding bicycles on the Don Valley Parkway. Yes. Really. And it's legal. And it's for a great cause.

If you want to join? Spaces are still available on our team.

I wrote a little blurb about why I'm doing it.

I am doing the big Ride for Brain Health because I am a bit terrified of Dementia and Alzheimer's, and really want to find a cure. It isn't a personal concern to me because of someone I know, for example, but rather a fear because I can't imagine the pain or horror of slowly forgetting who the people you love are, or the people who love you, and the pain on the entire family. I think people underestimate the pain on all members of the family.

There's a particular song, "Doing the Right Thing" by Daughter, which I think outlines my fears in beautifully haunting lyrics.

"And in the night, I'll call out for my mother; but she isn't coming back, for me, because she's already gone; and you will not tell me that, because you know it hurts me every time you say it; and you know you were doing the right thing; you must know you were doing the right thing."

I think the pain of reliving the moment you find about the death of a loved one, for the first time, but over and over again, for example, is among the worst kind of pain that exists.

Two track days only this year - April 26th and October 18th.

These two will be the final events for Falcon Autosport for the foreseeable future. Thanks for a wonderful 11 years.
