Thanks for all your support, I appreciate it. I have always wanted to travel to Taiwan and visit a Giant factory. I have a TRC2 at the moment, also I'm thinking about getting a Giant OCR OR Rd bike. Thanks again, Jim AKA Sanger

2016: worst year of my life with losing Russ in a single vehicle motorcycle accident on February 18th. Pretty much stopped riding for the rest of the year. 2017 will be different. I'm once again signed up for the TdN. Russ would want me to get back on the horse. I'm doing it for both of us! Love you Russell. Miss you more.
