Fallen Friend

Just got the bad news from EB about his Friend Baker.

Hey all,

After several days without food and many trips to the vet, we decided that we couldn’t prolong Baker’s suffering any longer. He was diagnosed with bone cancer in his hip over 4 months ago and we’ve done all we could do. Since September, he’s been on a ton of bike rides and trail days and we really tried to make the most of the time we had with him. Because he wasn’t feeling well enough to go on trail rides recently, he helped me scout a new trail on Galbraith in November and December that we named in his honor – Atomic Dog.

Beyond being a fantastic companion and brother to Shasta, he’s been an integral part of our mt. biking and trail building crews over the last 6 years. He’s gone out building with me in the absolute worst of conditions and never once complained. If you get a chance, please raise a pint to our fallen trail buddy this week. Courtney and I are, of course, totally devastated.
