Memorial Day / Gene's Ride

[Gunnar Shogren]

Memorial Day Ride 2026

It’s been 24 years my friends.

Monday, meet at the Rail Trail Amphitheater @ 0945, leave 1000, we will ride, up to the SSG Gene Arden Vance Jr. Memorial and Falls.

Please take time in your day to remember, reflect, and consider what Memorial Day is for.

Gene was 38 when he was killed on May 19, 2002, and would have turned 63 this year, 1963.11.30 - 2002.5.18/19.

Never forget. 

Remember. Reconnect. Respect.

And be kind.

Gunnar,

   I went last week and paid respects because I thought I would be out of town Monday. If I go to Mellons Chapel for 10:30 AM, will we get some time in riding together?

Please, CRC, if you are in town and can ride this, please ride.

Steve Knudsen

Thanks to all that came on the ride.
Sorry you had to return early Christian.

Nice to have a swell community that remembers.

I failed to leave you all with a charge that Gene would appreciate -
Ride your bike (done)
Have cup of dark coffee
Listen to some Surf music

And be kind,
Gunnar.

I tried to send some pictures but it broke the server...
