Thanks for sharing that great remembrance of Mike. When I read about these special people and how they went through life, it reminds me of the adage; “a life well lived”. That phrase certainly describes Mike. RIP.
Mike was such a good-natured and wonderful guy to be around during the Michigan ride last year; my heart goes out to all of his family, and to his friends and teammates. Thanks for sharing this memorial to his greatness here. Rest in peace Mike
George, thank you for your glowing tribute to Mike. He sounds like an incredible person and someone who touched everyone who knew him. I am very sorry for the loss of your friend, but kudos to you and your team for carrying on his legacy and his memory. I wish you all the best on the upcoming ride. It sounds like there will be no shortage of stories about Mike along the way. Good luck and Godspeed.
I am so sad to learn this news. I had the pleasure of riding both the Blue Ridge and Michigan ride with Mike. I made sure that he and my wife (a fellow Hungarian) were introduced to one another on the Michigan ride last year. They had some good laughs for sure. And to top it off, Mike gave his Hungary riding jersey to my wife at the end of the ride! He was a kind soul indeed, and will be missed for sure.
Thanks for all the thoughtful comments. Mike was inspired by the entire Climate Ride community. He was one of a kind and will be sorely missed next week in New England and every week thereafter. I imagine we’ll raise a glass or two during the week in his honor . . .
Thanks George for the wonderful tribute to Mike. This ride had meant so much to Mike, the training with his fellow riders, the determination to finish a longer course, and the endless contributions that Climate Ride supports. Mike had great pride for all his team members but was also so impressed with the many other riders he had met along the way. I know he will be missed but he will ride along in spirit with each of you and like he would tell you, “ride like you just stole something”! Best of luck to all of you, you’ll be missing a wing man but we all know, You Got This. Thanks guys for all your love and support ❤️
