Just had to share this...
Over the last week running hubby has been preparing for a very cold 24 hr mtn bike race this weekend- 24 hrs in the old pueblo. There was snow on the course earlier this week.
Well we were recounting stories of when hubby and his buddies did an organized ride that got snowed out. But since they travelled hours to get there they decided to do it anyway. It was in a small northern ca town called Chester. And the organizing shop was called Bodfish bicycles. The shop was known for putting on some great rides. The boys looked forward to this Oct ride for months. So when it ended up snowing that weekend they went anyway. The shop owner cancelled the ride, but when the guys insisted they were going he decided to follow them in his truck. They didnt end up making it very far... It was quite an adventure.
So in the act of pulling out the gortex socks and shoe covers that havent been touched in years, bodfish bikes came to mind many times. And they were crazy fond memories.
It's been YEARS!! Like over 12 I believe, since it pre dates running son.
So today at the shop a couple of semi pro road racers came in to borrow some tools. There is a stage race in our area this weekend, so they came in for some help. So hubby starts talking with one of the kids about where they are from. Turns out nor cal. Then somehow in the conversation they discover that he is the SON of the owner of the famous bodfish bicycles!!
It was just so strange since we hadn't thought of the shop in years, but just this past week we have thought about them a lot. And then his son walks in!
Seems more than just a random coincidence to me???
But very cool!
