This morning at 8:30 an amazing thing happened in Central Park. The entire CRCA bike community

came out in full force to honor the man that could almost be known as Mr. Bike Central Park.

Cyclists came from all over the country to join Dave Jordan’s friends and family and ride in his honor.

They shared private thoughts and public memories of a man who cared about racing enough to spend 

the better part of his short life coaching and sharing what he knew with the riders of New York City.

It was only fitting that the ride started with a lap around Dave’s beloved park where mourners joined Dave’s family.

The sea of riders made their way respectfully around the loop, some remembering DJ with shared stories, others

silently wondering why. 

Most continued North to Piermont, a course carefully and lovingly organized by friend Ray Alba. At times it was hard to believe

that Dave was not actually there- since it was his kind of ride.  A training run that looked always forward to the finish line.

The line that Dave had just recently crossed for the final time.
