I will always be looking over my shoulder for Chris - checking to see if he is still right there, on our tail. Man, I will miss you! So many miles, so many conversations. So many good times.
I am disappointed you left early Chris when I thought you had so many years left. We have learned so many interesting things of your life since your passing; and its in regret I didn't ask more about you earlier . I have ridden many fun bike rides with you thru the years, and yes we had a recent difference but am so glad that went away quickly, so we continued on very good terms and cycled more. We have both ridden in California Triple Crown double Century rides. You 26 of them. Impressive! God Bless You
Chris was a true friend to all that he knew and will be missed. May the Lord's Peace be with the family at this time.
So sorry we didn't get to say goodbye. Chris was a good man and a great ride leader. Kathy and I will miss him.
Chris volunteered with the Redlands Bicycle Classic for many years. He was on the team I lead to assist the officials score the riders. I always enjoyed talking to him about his experience in the Marine Corps, bike rides and his VW GTI. He was a colorful character and always kept us entertained while we waited for the riders to come by.

Cycling Friendship
I moved to Redlands and joined the Redlands Water Bottle Club and met Chris on my second group ride. He was always was a great friend and happy to see me when I rode with the club on Tuesday and Thursdays mornings. My work schedule changed and didn't ride with the club or Chris for months. I was riding alone in Riverside and saw a group ahead and worked hard to get up with the group by Riverside University in Riverside. When Chris saw me he said, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's good to have you riding with us. We started climbing and Chris was climbing strong and I was slow, out of shape! We stopped at the Chevron gas station at the corner of Alessandro Blvd and Sycamore Canyon Blvd. I told Chris your climbing strong and ask him, do you have a motor in your bike. Chris laughed and said yes it a e-bike! Always a great time and friendship riding with Chris.
