 Wake up! It's Dana's birthday! Happy birthday Dana! Thanks for being here on my birthday Ryan! Hey I wouldn't miss it! Good morning! Good morning! Time to get up Santa! I like this shirt! You got me into this! You're not enjoying it right Ryan? Well this morning I woke up and I thought this is not me! What are you doing mom? Well I'm trying to get the air out of my air mattress that you recommended that I get a nice big thick air mattress but every morning this is what takes me the longest is getting the air out of it. Happy birthday dear Dana! Happy birthday! Hey I'm Chris Brewer and I have the honor of being the director of events for the Davis Finney Foundation. I'm a co-captain of team peddling for Parkinson's got 75 people out here 15 with Parkinson's raising money for the foundation but also proving that you can live well with Parkinson's and just get out and crush it. Cool and then you know what does Parkinson's do to somebody's body? Well Parkinson's is what we call neurodegenerative disease it's in the base of the brain and it's really a movement disorder and what is maybe counterintuitive is that movement is great for people with Parkinson's it makes their lives better and so something like rag bra getting on your bike it's a perfect thing for them. And now who is Dana's Davis Finney? Who is Davis Finney? If you're not a fan of cycling and don't know who Davis Finney is you need to google them and figure it out. The winningest American professional cyclist of all time 328 career victories captain of team 711 that one of the greatest teams ever and Davis got Parkinson's at age 40. Since then he's about 20 years now living well with Parkinson's came out here on Tuesday the whole day was honoring him and Dr. J. Alberts who's from Iowa and discovered on rag bra that cycling is good for people with Parkinson's. We live in Taipei Taiwan and we're not originally Taiwanese but we've lived there for a while and before we moved there we had done rag bra once which was five years ago and we said hey we're never gonna miss this so we left some bikes in Chicago so we fly into Chicago we our buddy stores our bikes we drive over here do the ride put the bikes back fly back to Taiwan so Sunday Sunday evening we got a flight back to Taipei and why do you love it that's there from very bad why do you love being here why do you make it such a priority oh my god riding your bikes this thing this is I wish this was real life I wish riding bikes every day was like riding bikes on rag bra there is little cars on the road there's lots of people biking you're never alone on rag bra it's a fantastic way to spend the week it's being with like-minded people that like cycling and you know nobody's getting angry there's no road rage there's not it's it's really this sort of idealistic world and it's like it's like being in fairytale land for a week where's your funometer right now oh oh it's max now yeah I haven't had access to a laundry machine on all of rag bra so every water slide that's my laundry machine pickle juice woo birthday pickle juice it's the vinegar that helps relieve the cramps when it hits your taste buds it sends a shock through your nervous system that just stops the cramping sensation and then also the sodium helps you retain some water car back there has been stuck in a massive cyclist for a long time but they seem happy they're just smiling and going with the flow they're going bike speed it's pretty cool the locals seem to really enjoy rag bra obviously rag bra brings tons of money to each of these little towns huge economic boost and it's just fun I think they like seeing people from all over the world yeah look at that have you ever pet a goat on your birthday no it's my first birthday goat petting look at it's cool eyes puppy love very sweet they horses are donkeys this is orio she is two months two months old I know you are adorable you are just adorable yes you are our mission is to assist any riders along the course during the day they may have a broken chain they may have a shifting problem may have a derailleur hanger break or the primary stop are the tubes that blow and so we have created partnerships with communities and also bike shops that we can get some of these products donated that we're gonna carry with us to assist these other cyclists and being public servants this is an opportunity for us to engage with the people in a way that we already live the Air Force cycling team has had 25 years this is the 25th anniversary and our mission for helping has really ramped up in the last 12 years and how many tires personally have you fixed this week I have averaged about five stops per day and that's with chains shifting and tubes like this you know the Air Force would come save the day we actually had seen them on the road the last couple days helping people so as soon as we broke down the first thing she said was let's look for some Air Force guys see if they can help us out so yeah and also they came buzzing
