It's never easy losing someone close. My deepest condolences to you and his family. The Last Ride is a great idea and I'm certain that he approves. But if he was truly a brother, he will ALWAYS be riding with you and the group!! Keep your chin up and ride on.... I'm sure your brother wouldn't have it any other way!

We always did a spring run with a group of friends in May and I plan to carry his ashes this May as his last ride with the group.
Sorry for your loss, brother. I hope that the daughter is OK.

Sorry for you loss bro. I lost a brother myself just a couple of months ago, I know how hard it is. Good idea with the ashes, but it will not be his last ride with you. He will be with you on every ride from this point on.
