On Your Honor ....

This is a reminder that we get a terrific discount on our coffee/beverages and bagel at the Bagel Bistro, but that the cost is:
  • $1.00 for a coffee or soda
  • $1.00 for a bagel (when out for our consumption Saturdays)
  • $2.00 for both
Put your money in the cup or jar provided. Please pay your proper share out of respect for the courtesy extended to us by Kevin, the owner, and share a "Thank You" with him, or add a tip for the workers if you are so moved.

 

In Memoriam

Darren York 1963-2006 
Darren passed away July 23, 2006 while mountain biking the trails above Hurkey Creek. He was a true adventurer who worked hard, played hard and instilled his competitive spirit in his daughters, Danae and Deidre. 
 
Winning is hard – that’s why there is only one winner.” Darren
 
A carved log memorial bench has been placed at Hurkey Creek Park, near the trails.  The inscription reads:       
 In Loving Memory of Darren York
              July 23, 2006
          "ENJOY THE RIDE"

Bob Gaddini 1956-2003
Bob was killed December 15, 2003 when he was struck by a car while on a bike ride through Rancho Mirage. The driver of the automobile left the scene and has never been apprehended.

As a tribute to Bob, we remember his affectionate greeting of "Bro" by placing it on the left collar of our jerseys. We proudly wear this as a memorial to an elite rider, a great and loyal friend, and a man In Memory of Bob Gaddiniwhose entire life is an inspiration to all who knew him.

"Thanks for the pull, Bro ..."

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Ray Purnel 1956-2010 
Ray died as a result of a head injury suffered in a construction accident. He was a man of abundant energy and a spirit of endless adventure.
