See Eventbrite's troubleshooting FAQ here. About Ian's Ride. . .While studying as a biology undergrad at UC Santa Cruz, Ian Mackay crashed his bike into a tree on campus. Paralyzed from the shoulders down, Mackay adapted to his new life with the help of his dedicated family, particularly his mother, Teena Woodward, and a group of quirky friends. After years of despair, and against all odds, he became an inspiring leader, an innovator with Apple, and a world-record-breaking athlete. In this intimate biography based on more than one hundred hours of interviews, journal entries, and more, writer Karen Polinsky recounts Ian’s accident and determined recovery, in which he discovered the healing power of nature and community. Ian’s Ride is both a personal journey and an adventure quest for nature lovers, endurance athletes, and anyone struggling with a life-changing loss or diagnosis. This deeply moving true story examines how we exist in our bodies, adapt to and overcome adversity, and what it means to push our limits. Karen Polinsky, a former journalist and high school teacher, is a novelist and playwright. Like Ian’s Ride, her first book, Dungeness, is set on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. Polinsky has written more than a dozen staged plays. Based in Portland, Oregon, she enjoys camping, biking, and hiking with her husband, Michael, and her border collie, Pearl. IanMackay, a C2/3 quadriplegic, is a nature lover, mobility technology innovator, and endurance athlete. Mackay is the executive director of the nonprofit Ian’s Ride, which aims to increase accessibility to the outdoors; an ambassador for the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy; and a proud board member of The Here and Now Project, a chapter of the United Spinal Association. He lives in Port Angeles, Washington.
