In an article in the Vancouver Sun yesterday, Ryder said,
“I think it’s going to take a while to sink in,”on a conference call with reporters in North America a few hours after his victory. “Once I start to see my name on the list of other riders who’ve accomplished this, it’s pretty amazing. I’m just enjoying it right now.”
Ryder was part of the School Bike League at Spencer Middle School & he graduated from Belmont.
