🎂 Happy birthday, Mark! Here's Will holding up one of the many signs we strung up when Mark turned 46...a minute ago. Mark is an amazing bike mechanic, and an all-around great person. He is also as modest as can be. We're so glad he's still working here.

An ongoing conversation on the RBW Owners Bunch* about carrying dogs on Rivendells brought to mind this .05 selfie of James and his canine passenger. * a Google group administered by Jim Edgar.
