Ansonia boy receives early holiday gift

8th grader wins bike from stunt cyclist

I was happy to be behind-the-scenes recently with teachers and Ansonia Cultural Commission members at Ansonia Middle School to see eighth grader Jason Edwards get a cool surprise: a visit by professional stunt cyclist Chris Clark.

Clark, from Hoboken, N.J., performed at the Ansonia Harvest Festival in October. He had told spectators about a nationwide Facebook contest he was running, and Jason won.


The surprise continued when Clark presented Jason with a "lightly used" Giant STP mountain bike.

Jason is all smiles as Clark talks to him in the AMS gym about using the mountain bike.

Winning the expensive bike was indeed a lucky turn of events for Jason, since his own bike had been stolen earlier this year.

Congratulations again, Jason! Here's to lots of cycling fun.
