I cried on the way to the trail
Jay Stolpestad passed way on April 24th in the early am. Jay was one of the kindest people I have ever met. The first person I road with when we moved here to Santa Fe was Jay. From that ride on Jay and I became good friends. Quite strange really since We are so diferent. Jay brought the best out in people and inspired everyone he came across. A couple years ago Jay was diagnosed with cancer. He never stopped fighting or smiling til the day he died. I will miss him dearly and I imagine many other will too.
We recreated this shot last week with Jay in our thoughts in the same spot on pacheco canyon road
Jay loved PInback...
See ya "my brutha"

You said it, Tim. Jay was in a dream I had 2 nights ago. We we're riding bikes of course. Was good to hear his voice again.
Nice tribute to your friendship,Tim.The magic of mountain biking has no Financial borders when it comes to friends.Jay blew some of my prejudices out the door too. Gone but not forgotten.
