I was not going to contribute as I
Eroica California pre-ride with Northbend(Matt) , Bikingshearer(Rich) , and me Kabuki12(Joe) in the middle
sent Rich an email to express my feelings. I will miss him , we met a number of years ago at the first Eroica California via this very forum. I will stay in touch and a friendship that is still going strong will continue on. I only see Rich once a year at that event and always enjoy the time together.
