In August 2023, the BBC lost an amazing human being in John Embow.  He was 51 years old. John had an infectious smile and laugh, had boundless energy and curiosity, and made instant friends with everyone he met. Everyone who has ever ridden with him has fond memories of the endless conversation and likely a bit of suffering on his wheel. Outside of cycling, he was involved in a lot of community pursuits, donating time and money to several causes, and his company, Grove Roofing Services, was a sponsor of the BBC this year to help our own initiatives of event safety, increasing women’s participation, and building rider skills.

We’ll ride together in his memory.
