I'm a four times Heavy Metal Truants veteran, returning for what has become a yearly highlight for me. There is something truly unique and special in doing the HMT ride, which is very hard to explain or articulate properly. Helping the beautiful charities we do this for, which in turn help thousands of children in need, is a feeling that is incomparable to anything else. This year I will be dedicating my effort in memory of my friend Kalya, whose joy, energy and memories I will cherish for the rest of my life.
