In this episode I am in conversation with Kim Brochu who sadly lost her younger brother Kris who was an avid cyclist and humanitarian and was someone who loved everything related to cycling and bicycles and was a bright light to everyone who knew him!    Kris tragically died while doing something he loved and was found 19 hrs later still clipped in on his bike after suffering a massive cardiac event while riding alone in his basement doing a Zwift ride.    Kim and I discuss why riding alone on a trainer at home is dangerous, what her family learned about Kris after he passed away and how Kim is taking something so tragic and is turning it into something good by founding the Kris Yip Memorial Foundation and the Kris Yip Memorial Fondo which takes place each summer in Kris’s home town of Prince George, British Columbia, Canada.

It’s great conversation, and one that makes me wish I could have had the chance to get to know Kris in person as I feel we have so much in common!
