Carl Grove shares his amazing journey starting in Elkhart, Indiana, which included a paper route by bike that earned him 18 cents per week. His dad bought Carl his first bike for $1.25! Carl recounts his experiences in the Navy and the U.S. Navy Band, as well as his transition to a world-class biker late in life. Carl's journey is remarkable: he became a record-setting cyclist at the age of 90 and he is still going strong at age 98. What an inspiration!
