Happy B-Day Gary

Friday Nov 3, 2006 found me driving towards Cleveland Ohio to attend the Season Opening Of Rays Mountain Bike Park. I was invited as a guest of Bob Myers for the event which had Gary Fisher making an appearance. Travis Ott (Fisher Maketing Manager) and Bob had a cake brought in for Garys Birthday which wasn't that exact day but close enough. So Happy B-day Gary Fisher!

Michelle and I got the chance to sit and talk with Gary since he currently has a broken ankle which kept him sitting by the fire. He really is quite a down to earth type guy. It was great getting to meet him.




In case you didn't know, every bike I ride and race has this guys name on it! So getting to sit and talk with him one on one about riding different places and also about designing bikes and what he likes to ride was really cool. After shooting the breeze with Gary we took a few laps on the Gary Fisher 1/2 mile indoor XC loop inside Rays Mountain bike park.



Shortly after arriving I was approached by a guy asking about TRM and Trek of Pittsburgh because of their logo on my gear. We talked for a few minutes before he introduced himself as "Ray".

I immediatly asked "Ray as in Rays Mountain Bike Park?"

He said "yep!"

So heres a shot of Me, Ray & Bob Myers











Ok How about a little shout out for the Park itself! Yea this place was cool! Michelle actually tried a bunch of stuff that she normally would never ride.
