After spending time with Don learning the website he created. I have made the last few posts. Don was a brilliant writer and was certain to recognize accomplishments of weekly riders outside of cycling. Feel free to email me so that I can continue giving recognition to those milestones and accomplishments. Ed

A ride to honor Scott Woodward

Many riders came out to share stories, memories and ride the ten mile course that Scott won so many events on. There was never any questioning the passion or knowledge Scott had for the sport of cycling. We lost Scott on April 11, 2016. The impact he left on family and friends will never be forgotten.
