Buccaneer

I’ve been sitting for hours now watching the storm that’s about to break develop, enjoying the inner peace it brings me even though it is literally the calm before the storm.

My mind however is anything but calm, I have read posts on various sites tonight that got me thinking. You see these where all posted by people I know and have worked with, about a man that was taken from them too soon. A man that I sadly never had the privilege of knowing but who’s reputation and work affects many of us still today a year after his death. This man is Brian Cannoo, Buccaneer. Throughout the last year I have heard many stories of how this one mans passion and belief in something has changed lives and how he inspired the people around him, to the extent that Think Bike is stronger today probably than it was a year ago.

I’m not going to waste space here explaining what Think Bike is or what they do. I’m just going to post the website and hope that if you read this, you have a look to see what they are about. This post is actually just my way of acknowledging a man and the work he did, as well as the work that is continuing after his death and the people he affected so profoundly including my own brother

Buccaneer wherever you are here’s to you. May you ride the skyways for an eternity.

I hope one day I am remembered with just 1% of the love and passion that you are sir.
