Bobby McMullen is a bad ass with a heart of gold!  He has survived diabetes, loss of his vision, kidney failure, years of dialysis, two kidney/pancreas transplants, open-heart surgery, and has battled a particularly aggressive form of cancer. He has broken more bones than he can count. In spite of challenges that would take most people out, Bobby lives life full-on. He is a passionate extreme sport competitor — a tenacious adrenaline junkie who competes alongside fully able racers. As a downhill mountain bike racer, his “life support” is the bike. Bobby is an inductee to the National Athletes with Disabilities Hall of Fame, and a current nominee to the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame. Bobby believes that everyone should have the opportunity to ride bikes regardless of their ability. He is an avid supporter of the National Ability Center and its mission. He will bring a LOT of stoke but will leave some for the rest of us.
