From Lynn L,

He would have been 69 today. He loved to ride the number of miles he was in years on his birthday. If anyone has the time, ride a few for Martin. I’m planning to ride to the lake with some of his ashes and scatter them on the beach in his memory…Lynn

That’s a great idea! I’m gonna start doing that. And it’ll remind me of our homeboy every time. 

I like that you’re taking some more of his ashes to the lake. That’s a good spot. 

Thanks Michael!

Nick

Almost forgot Martin's catch phrase which all of us should do.

Enjoy the ride

Happy Birthday Martin!

I miss you and all your banter. 

And I missed your annual email to ride the summer solstice. Always a long and fun day.

This is the time of year when Martin and I would kid each other about riding Triple L (Leesville - Leasburg - Leesville), a 200K permanent that we did in July of 2010 when the temps reached 101F.  We consumed 4+ gallons of water each and I barely finished with 5 minutes to spare.  Martin came in about 10 minutes late so did not get credit.  Talk about a sufferfest!

Martin,

Thank you for your camaraderie on your Irregular Velo Adventures with the Randos, you are sorely missed by all of us.

Still in a bit of disbelief, but taking the time to tell him what he already knows, miss um big time….
