One ride a year. A story worth reading.
This is a story from me, Martin Velits, and my brother Peter, both former pro riders with Quick Step and BMC, and now founders of Isadore, about our once-a-year tradition: a ride with our dad, Laco.
Words by Martin Velits, photos by Peter Meciar.
These days, it’s rare the three of us get together for a ride. Work, life, distance, you know how it goes. But there’s one day every year when we make it happen. Like clockwork, it’s around Father’s Day. And it’s sacred.
This year’s edition? A loop through the old stomping grounds in the northwest corner of Slovakia where the roads are rough, the climbs are rude, and the memories are baked into every bend.
So if you’re reading this, text that person. Call them. Ride with them. Say thanks. And maybe take them out on a loop that reminds you both why you fell in love with riding in the first place.
