SuperDave on the right? I saw him riding on old 161 a few weeks ago but not on an organized ride for a couple of years. Style Queen on the left, Dennis C, has ridden a couple of Westerville Wednesday rides and mostly on a tandem with his girlfriend. Both of these guys were very regular riders of most of the Tuesday and Thursday COP rides. Craig Butler aka Da Boss? A super endurance athlete who now concentrates on trail running. Each spring he teases me with something about coming back to cycling but yet to materialize. Donna Bush? Better known as Sarge for her authoritarian rule of the parking lot as a ride leader. She still rides while following NASCR. Kenda Dave? Actually, he still comes out once in a great while and rode Pelotonia. Claude? Probably school is preventing him from attending any rides. Famous for having a crushed banana in back jersey pocket during most rides. Margarita Rick? I hear he still rides with his new wife. Recumbent Dude? Moved to San Fran where he is probably miserable as after all, there is no group like our group. Jeremy? Gave up cycling and I think has started his own business. Kevin H, aka Pepe LaPew? Still rides but one of those guys who won't allow themselves to come out and be humiliated by falling behind Flyin Tuna so he rides alone when not traveling to exotic places like Iowa City. Donn, aka Tall Dude? I think family obligations have kept him off the bike. Ryan Roe? Actually, that's not Ryan but he bears an uncanny resemblance to many Civil War veterans having a long beard. Ryan just bought a new house and family obligations is keeping him busy. Denver Dan? I hear he has been at a couple of rides this year. Above, he won a prize for finishing in the middle of the pack at the Granville Climbing Challenge. Logan Leland, aka Young Phenom? School keeps him very busy. Ty Jordan, the biggest, fastest human on a bike. Have not heard anything about him in quite awhile but believe he still lives in Canal Winchester. You know what? Without exception each of the above were a lot of fun to have in the group, just good people and we wish they would start riding with us again. There are others who have drifted away but I could not find images or just missed putting them in here such as Jamie Roberts, Billy Campbell, etc...

Such an awesome pic of Donna! I think Jamie's goal was to run in all 50 states with his wife, but I think I have seen him on Facebook riding with her. Donn travels a lot for work and so does Pepe as of late. I thought of Donn last Saturday while climbing Tarkiln.

As long as my little buddy Amanda sticks around, I don't care who comes and goes.

I heard Dennis quit coming because so many began to show who dressed better than him.

You missed Pepe last night at the Canal ride. You know, that ride you don't come to anymore?
