After years of struggling against the worlds top athletes, Levi finally earned a spot in their ranks. Now, at the apex of his career, he finds himself in a place that hed never considered: that his greatest legacy may not be his racing success on the bike, but rather how hes carried that success off the bike and captured the hearts of fans around the world. In the end, Levis unlikely impact on the lives of those around him, the community he unwittingly created, will eclipse the headlines and the flashbulbs of his racing career...
