 | Ford, a South End resident, finished third overall in both the sprint and the main race behind competitors from Switzerland and Denmark, in the 2004 Messenger World Championship held July 1-5 in Edmonton, Alberta. |
| Ford was looking to defend his first-place finishes in last year's sprint, a 250-meter test of raw speed, and the main race, a longer event held on open roads. |
| To train for the Worlds, Ford rode his bicycle every day, first on long training rides in the morning, and again in the afternoon as a courier for RS Express in Boston. |
