Brian Morrison's (one of my teammates this past season) dad passed away earlier this week from myeloma cancer. I can't say enough good words about Brian, who taught me how to bike better and offered encouraging words on numerous rides when I felt I had nothing more to give. His loss is my loss and our team's loss.

"Memento mori" - something that I learned in art history class and still resonates with me today.
I will surely be raising a glass to you sir, next Saturday.
