Congratulations to Trek Extraordinary Character Award Winner, Preston! 💫 Mountain biking requires remarkable athleticism, coordination, focus, and strength. But riding without sight demands a whole lot more. A reality that Preston Page faced when he decided to join the Viewmont High School Mountain Bike Team. 🚲 As a senior, his three-year biking career has been filled with more bumps and bruises than our team combined. Shadows and sound direct his course but it can only be his heart that pushes him forward. 💪 Preston has led the Viewmont team and their community not because of who he is but who he isn't. Despite the herculean challenges he has faced he has never given up. Preston has never taken a shortcut. He has never taken the easier way out. He has fallen, flipped, and slipped but he has always gotten back up and has always finished the race - one obstacle, one incline, one mile at a time. 🥇 📸: courtesy of Preston #NICAAwards #AwardWinner #NICACommunity
