Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable in an effort that it might help someone else. Thank you for the good you do and trying to help get others involved in cycling and create positive experiences in other peoples lives. I was registered for Rebecca‘s private Idaho in 2020 and for obvious reasons that got canceled. I look forward to seeing you at Rebecca‘s private Idaho in 2021.

Great review of Rebecca Rusch's history and struggles leading her to the movie we are going to watch Saturday 11/4/17 at the Rochester High Falls Film Festival called "Blood Road" about her travels down the Ho Chi Minh trail in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. She delivers a real emotional story here in this TEDx talk and makes us anticipate the movie even more. I knew about her endurance bicycle racing success and and other sports but did not know the detail into her life. Quite an amazing story and best wishes for her continued success at everything she sets her mind to.

Thanks for sharing. I know that wasn't easy to do. I wish what was missing from my life had a actual location. I've been looking for it for 50 years. From about the time I started riding bicycles. I was not a professional athlete. I was a professional bicycle race mechanic. And have work my way around the world doing it many times. To the tune of 60 countries on six continents. And yes through Vietnam as well. Crossed by land from China into Vietnam and went the full length all the way down to Saigon. I would love to chat with you in person about all this. It's a path worth taking. And the journey I guess is the best part. I can't complain about my journey. I've met extraordinary people along the way. But something is still missing.

This is amazing! WTF is "the pain cave" though? (4:16) That doesn't sound good!

As a Lao person, I can honestly say that a lot of us are very tired of these people coming to our country to make some kind of peace with themselves. Raise a few dollars, and it's all good right? There is still a lot of anti american sentiment in these areas, so be careful out there haha, because you have no idea how much we have sacrificed. I ran a MTB tour company on Laos for years, until I couldn't handle these type of people anymore. Save your tears lady.

So what is she supposed to do? Just feel rotten about her father and herself? What good would that do. She connected in a heart felt way with the people her father bombed and she started a charity to help them. Would you rather she had just won another race instead?
