Ryan Mele Folks
Sup February 1st, 2008Nobody knows this Cat yet people.
Rest assured they will.
He grew up with me in good Ol’ Pittsburgh PA. As Juniors and senior riders we ride and chill about everyday of the week when I’m in town. In fact I’d consider us brothers, that’s how close he and his family are to me.
Nonetheless, this Kid is going to make his mark. He’s riding for Nature’s Path this year, he’s only 23 and he’s a Bad Ass.
When I was 8th in Philly two years ago, I went home for a few days, and this kid dropped me. The reason he hasn’t been on the circuit much until the past two years is because of USAC upgrade program, work, and school.
Seriously, watch out for this Cat, because his potential is one we all would refer to as a Phenom. If I had to equate this kid with a rider, I would say he’s a lot like Hincapie, except he hasn’t realized it yet.
YO Boys at Nature’s Path: Good pick of the bunch with Mele. He will be great for you, and you will be great for him in his next step up the latter.

Ryan’s down here in Florida right now and I just spent the last two days riding with him (actually, only during warm-ups and cool-downs). As fast as he is — and he’s fast — he’s an equally good guy. I hope to be reading about him in the next couple of years.
