[DVBC] Bob Leon

[Valerie Shinbaum]

I was just think about my first ride with the club, which was also with Bob.  He and Cassie rode a tandem that day, a 50 miler Salem Oak on a beautiful October day, but boy what a headwind we ran into towards the end!  And how encouraging both he and Cassie were as I tried to hang tough with that challenging wind.  Lots of other folks were there that day, Bob LaDrew, Woody, Len and Bonnie, Bob Martin, Ed Becker, it was quite the introduction to some of the "heavy hitters" in the club I've since gotten to know a little bit more.  I'll always be grateful to Bob and Cassie for how welcoming they were towards me as I became involved in the club.  Nice to have role models like that in a club like ours.    
   
  He'll be missed.

There will be no services. Bob wanted to be cremated and only have his 
close family present.
Bob wants all of us to remember him the way he was and not the way he 
ended. He also asked for us to continue our Kountry Kitchen rides and maybe 
have a yearly memorial KK ride.
I think we can do that.

My first ride with the club was Bob's ride out of Woodlyn to Ridley Creek 
park. I almost bonked on my first 20 mile ride. Bob challenged me to keep 
on riding. I will always remember.
