It's such a hard thing to lose a friend.
A few weeks ago Derek Jensen was hit by a car while riding his bike to work and killed.
In an instant the lives of his wife, Mina, and their three young children were changed.
Brian and Derek were riding buddies. Brian accomplished many biking firsts with Derek.
Last year they rode the Fourth of July ride together and had quite an adventure.
Today there was a 1 mile memorial ride to remember Derek before the big annual ride.
It was such a moving thing to see everyone leaving the church parking lot and making their way up the road. It was quiet and really beautiful.
This is a video of the group finishing the memorial ride.
We are all blessed for having known Derek.
He is missed by so many.
