I think I stayed subscribed to this list all these years in part because I enjoyed Jim Foreman’s posts.
Never met the man, but he made a big impression on me as an interesting man of purpose.As a subscriber to his YouTube channel, I learned today that he has passed away. I’m sorry to pass this news along.

When I was a young man of 50 (20 years ago) I figured I should leave my home in the east and ride in the Rockies of Colorado. I asked this listserv for advice and it was Jim Foreman who came up for me with a route from Trinidad to Colorado Springs. His letter suggested a way to Ute Pass (a great and exhausting climb!) and advice on Guffey, Colorado (a tiny town he seemed to know quite well) where I spent a memorable evening. I’ve loved his posts here. I’m still touring and I lift a glass tonight to Jim Foreman.

Very sad news. My condolences to his family and touring community.

Met Jim on my trip to OKC (Moore) to pick up my Rans Stratus which he had for me from his friend from whom I had bought it. It was my first recumbent. Visited with Jim and his sweet wife. Had several chances to meet up with Jim in OKC from time to time over the years when there on business. He was a most interesting fellow and we had great talks on many subjects. His escapades as a pilot were most entertaining. He gave me a book he wrote which left you wondering if there was really any fiction to it. It very much pictured the Jim I came to know.
Too bad the good guys have to pass on. Jim could have shared much more with us.
Rest in Peace, my Friend!

Really sad to hear this. Jim was one of a kind. Never met personally, but corresponded as friends. First made contact with him when he mentioned a certain notorious woman who ran the "Happy Bottom Riding Club" in So Cal. back when I was a kid living in Mojave in the '50s-60s. He was quite the story teller. He will be greatly missed by many around the world.
