Our friend Rick, gone one week. I went through and sorted out some pictures. At a loss for words.
Now, at three weeks, words still have not come. But here are the pictures, at least. No particular order.

Gone,

never forgotten.
Actually, that was me helping my great friend Rick convert to SingleSpeed after he broke his chain...he finished 35 that day and I went on to do the 50. I think that we solidified what I consider to be a great friendship on that day at that spot...thanks for a tearful reminder!
ReplyDeleteHey Jim, Now you've done it - everyone will know what a nice guy you are. They'll all be flagging you down should they need repairs. I think I must have caught up to you guys mid-conversion. I probably assumed it was Rick helping someone else, just because that's the kind of guy he was!
