Sad indeed...big loss there. Ironically, Working Man the only big Rush song that predates Peart joining the band

Cool. I decided last Friday I was only gonna ride my hardtail for the next month, that's now been changed to 2 months. Thanks for the motivational video.

I was forced into it after buying the wrong parts for a repair on my full sus and I couldn't be happier shredding the hardtail.

Got to respect a product manager that knows the importance of water bottle cages.

If you like your friends authentic, unpolished, and solid to the core, then you'd be honored to number Ian among them. He is a lot like Kona in that respect. Love that dude, except, of course, when he is smoking me on a hardtail! Great capture.

Yeah Ian! Great stuff. Thanks for using such a classic banger tune as well! Very poignant this month with sad Rush news.
