Tour de Gary Memorial Ride (Thursday, July 14, 2011)To honor the memory of Gary Strauss (and there were many of them), his family organized the Tour de Gary Memorial Ride around Mercer Island. In typical Gary Ride form, a large group gathered and in true memorial fashion, we had a police escort around the island.
Great to see friends old and new and remember a wonderful person. |
