A bunch of friends who ride in North County are organizing a ride in memory of my brother who was killed in a car acident last year on the way to Mammoth with his best friend on April 27th. The accident was a hit and run and they have never found the other driver and killed both Paul and his best friend instantly. Paul's passion was cycling and he was awesome to ride with. At 6'4" 220 lbs he was great to draft behind. Paul was born and raised in Carlsbad. Paul once hit a deer while cycling with his race team in San Bernardino downhill doing 55 mph. Paul and deer were fine. Bike didn't fare so well Paul left behind a wife and 2 year old son and 13 year old daughter. It was very tragic. Be great to have some folks join us. The more the merrier. We are starting from Magee park at 8:30am and are setting up a 25 and 45 mile course. We're going to hang out afterwards for some food and drinks. Come on out or you can also email me at bando1@san.rr.com for more information so we have an idea of count. There is no cost. Mike Bandemer, NCCC Del Mar
