Two years ago, I was fortunate enough to meet Bog, Julia and about thirty five other Canadian riders up at Sumas for a great ride through Rattle Snake Road and then on down to the Oyster Run in Anacortes.
I had the chance to talk with Bog and can tell all that have never met him that he was great to talk to. He made you feel like what you had to say was the only thing that mattered.
He was a great rider, always willing to allow those that were new to adjust to the pack and fall behind watching and guiding, but more than willing to press forward to the front and pressure any of us that held that rank.
This news is devastating. My true thoughts and prayers for Julia, for Bog's family and all of his colleagues and friends.
May he rest in peace knowing he touched a lot of lives and was loved by more than he knew.
