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 E_Armstrong97@yahoo.com
