Kids with "exceptionalities" (learning , physical, emotional and mental disabilities) often are either held back or made to feel they just sometimes cant do what others can.
My nephew is the first autistic person to compete and finish Gravel Worlds.
This kid (he is around 11-13 mentally) is an extremely hard working young man and we couldnt be more proud.
Seeing the rest of those training with him really makes you take a step back for what simple things can bring so much joy.
One of them learned to ride a bike for the first time and it was like he won the lottery.

Awesome.

That's awesome! Congratulations to Josh :D

That is great. The Gravel race community is how bike racing used to be and should be.

I will be honest I'd never heard of it. But they treated him like a king the whole time and next year he will be leading a team of 10 or 11

That's very cool! Give him my congratulations.

What a wonderful post.
Congratulations to your nephew.
Just great

Oh no credit on my behalf haha, I'm a lucky uncle. The dude has more drive than anyone I know.
The company GTFO based here is doing a great job with them

That is so cool! Congrats! Gravel riding/racing is a ton of fun!

Best thread I've seen in a long time.
