My younger brother passed about 3 years ago as well. I inherited several of his bikes. Rode one of his bikes across the state of Nebraska to return his ashes to the earth. My tribute ride to him. Keep wanting to go back and ride that trail again.
Still think of him a lot. I've sold two of his old bikes now. The one I rode across Nebraska I sold to a buddy who rides it daily. I will always keep the mountain bike he built from the frame up.
Think I will ride that one tonight.
I'll give a salute to your brother when I do.
