Patrick’s first group ride ever was the Palos Verdes ride. This ride covers most of the Pacific Palisades beach areas and surrounding hills.
This ride changed the way Patrick viewed cycling to the point that he was prompt to write about it in an essay for his English class which he called
My first Ride. "Read it now"  
“Cycling had become his passion”
Cycling has always been a family tradition with Patrick's father a Colombian immigrant loving the sport and a grandfather who followed cycling in his prime years.
