Oakdale Endurance Racer Pushes To Extremes
By Teresa Hammond
The Oakdale Leader
Mark Richardson has dedicated his life to risk taking. As an 18-year veteran with the Tracy Fire Department, there is little that is predictable about his day in-day out job.
Career choice aside at the age of 45, Richardson appears to live a fairly ordinary life in Oakdale with his wife Kyle and their three children Sabrina, Audrey and Nathan.
His career of saving lives and fighting fires is perhaps just the beginning of what makes Richardson not only interesting, but also admirable. Equally impressive is the 'green' approach this dedicated firefighter takes when making the commute to Tracy for his weekly shift. He spends his mornings seated on a road bike for the 36-mile journey to work. A choice, which quickly turns a 45-minute car ride into a two-hour cycling excursion.
