This last Saturday the mountain bikers of Big Bear got together for the second “Team Nigel” ride to help raise funds for our little brother Nigel Holland and his family while they go through this challenging time. Special thanks go out to Tom Sitton for organizing the ride and to Bev Brown from Rim Nordic for timing the riders so they could see how fast they could complete the course. Even though it wasn’t a race and speed didn’t really matter, it made it more fun for riders to know just how long it took them to ride the 8 mile lap that Tom had mapped out. They chose a nice long loop around the perimeter of the Snow Summit ski area. This track could be quite a tiring ride, especially if you try to go fast. However, not one bit of whi
ning from the “Team Nigel” riders.
It’s going to be a long, tough recovery for Nigel, but he’s got a lot of people pulling for him and his family. One thing mountain bikers learn early on is that if you want to see the top, or if you want to make it to the end, you’ve got to keep on pedaling. Well that’s how it’s going to be for our little brother Nigel for awhile so we can’t stop sending our love, good vibes and positive energy his way. Much thanks to all who came out for the ride and to show their support for Nigel. It was obvious that everyone had a great time! Go Nigel!!
Spreading the love, rev

Absolute best wishes to Nigel & his family through this time. The people of Big Bear never cease to amaze me & being a huge believer in the healing energy that can be sent by caring people…I just know Nigel will be smiling soon. I’m sure just knowing the love is here for him & his family helps so much! Keep up the positive energy!
