We will miss you.

I walked into The Right Gear  in 2005 to have a flat tire changed on my brand new bike only to bump into an old high school aquaintance, Adam Little. I was taken back by his sincerity when he invited me to come join him and his friends for a ‘group ride’ out in a little town called Mt Pleasant at a guys house he refered to as Harkey. Regardless of the high intimidation factor, I went to ride. Years later, I still show up at Harkeys to ride my bike, and Adam became my friend.  This past Wednesday we met to ride, but we rode without Adam.

Adam Little was killed by a car on Wednesday morning.

Instead of being angry at how unfair I find his death,  I am trying to laugh, smile and promote cycling.   Adam did not have to have pavement.  He did not mind if you were slower.  He was always off the back encouraging someone to keep going.  I remember the first hill he ever pushed me up.  No words, just a gentle hand and a pat on my back.  That was Adam.

This past year he and did ORAMM with me and the rest of the Fisher road team.  He didn’t care if it was dirt or pavement, he just wanted to ride his bike.

TWO BOTTLES - that is all Adam needed for ORAMM
