XP3 Hornet Deer (https://xp3hornet.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooPAWd0VADYVNtMSQJ77dYrCBClMsqnzhqrgjA4Iz8sNvxxujqA) Use code oldman to save 10% Radar and Laser Detector (Radar and Laser Detector) Use code PC20 to save 20% Pat Cornell (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576757769208)—better known as Old Man Pat—completed an incredible journey to raise awareness and funds for Myotonic Dystrophy. His goal was 125,000 miles in 125 days, and not only did he meet it, he exceeded it, riding a staggering 145,000 miles in 145 days on a brand-new 2025 Indian Pursuit with the new PowerPlus 112! Along the way, Pat broke records, pushing the limits of endurance while raising the bar for what’s possible. Even more impressive, despite suffering an injury on Day 73, Pat didn’t stop. He continued his ride, riding through the pain, all for the cause. Pat’s ride wasn’t just about the miles—it was about making a difference for those affected by Myotonic Dystrophy, a rare genetic disorder that impacts muscle function, including the heart, brain, lungs and eyes. Why this Ride? Pat’s mission was simple: to raise awareness, funding, and support for Myotonic Dystrophy research.
