Riding for one more this August
Finishing up some last minute touches on the bike this weekend and took a break to grab a quick snack and check Facebook. It's now 7:30pm Saturday, and the top news item on my Facebook is that a friend and fellow rider, Andre, passed away in the hospital at 6:21pm (4:21 local time).
Andre will be sorely missed. While I didn't get to see him as much since he moved out to the PNW, we did stay in touch virtually through various online forums and the like. I did get to see Andre the last time he was in town when the old group threw a crawfish boil. Andre and I talked quite a bit about the upcoming IBR, ideas on how to set up the bike, and Andre had offered to help me find a place to store the bike once in Washington State if I decided to fly home immediately after the IBR and return weeks later to pick up the bike.
Andre, you'll be with me in my thoughts during this upcoming ride.
