In preparation for The Great Allegheny Passage at the end of September, Mike Clawges is training 4-5 days a week, covering 25-50 miles. He will be riding 154 miles in 4 days. He is truly putting his socket to the test! 🚵
His original socket lacked flexibility, limited his range of motion behind the knee, and created sores. Being told to wear 12 ply socks to help alleviate his issues was not going to cut it. He received his Socket-less Socket in December of 2024 and has been riding ever since. Without a doubt, he knows he would not be able to ride a bike or patricipate in his upcoming race without his Socket-less Socket. Putting miles on your socket is easy when it is that comfortable.
He proudly shared: "This is the best socket i have ever been in. My mobility and bend with the socket is 135 degrees and my good leg is 140 degress, which is great flexibility to bend. My Physical Therapist measured!"
We are honored to support Mike in his upcoming adventure. If you, too, would like to help support his journey, he is currently trying to raise funds for his trip. The link to his GoFundMe is below in the comments! ⬇🌟
