This blog is dedicated to Erica, a woman I’ve only met once but has shown the most unbelievable strength, courage, and faith. Your husband led me out on my very first mountain ride and has impacted the lives of so many of us at CharlotteSportBikes.com. On Saturday, 35 bikes with a total of 51 people came out to celebrate HeeJun’s life on this memorial ride. We had riders come who had never met HeeJun but wanted to pay their respects and also contributed to his memorial cross. We had riders come in chase vehicles and took video and photos of the group ride. The cross that Doug thought to make and Kerry made a reality turned out better than we ever could have imagined.
Erica, we all missed you on Saturday but hope you will enjoy these photos of the memorial ride. We believe that HeeJun smiled down on us while we took his favorite route in the most beautiful weather.
The turnout was incredible! We had 35 bikes with 51 people total.
Thanks again to Perry for his hard work in getting these vinyls made. They look fantastic!
Thanks to Doug, Angela, Kerry, and Kathy for their efforts and this awesome marker of HeeJun’s life.
