imageSad but true. Team rider Alan Barton is moving to the great city of Portland, OR. Really excited for him and all the new lands he will be dominating via two wheels.

In honor of Alan’s departure the Bici Coop team came together for a farwell ride in the hot hot heat of Birmingham, AL. It was only about 50 miles and 3K+ of climbing which wouldn’t normally be all too difficult, but the heat… that damn heat… it zapped me for sure. Really showed me the power of proper hydration; which I thought I was nailing, but ended up cramping pretty hard towards the end of the ride. No tears from me though! This was one of the best rides I’ve been on this summer. GREAT folks doing great things!

To all my Portland pals… welcome newcomer Alan Barton into your loving arms as I’m sure you will. He will bless your city with all types of good things. Cheers to that!
