It is with great sorrow to share the passing of Pete Shaw, long time GOBA SAG. Pete has been a part of GOBA since the beginning, both as a rider and volunteer. He shared his love for the ride with his children too, who also joined us for many years. We’re forever grateful for all of your help making GOBA great, Pete. Rest in peace.
