Ride Overview
Please join us for a Celebration of the life of Eli Post. We will dedicate a bench for him along the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail in Chelmsford MA, and reflect on his contributions to the Charles River Wheelers.
Eli was the living embodiment of CRW. He was a core member of the club, serving as president, VP of Rides, editor of Wheel People, and of course ride leader.
He was a great motivator and encouraged others to give back to the club. He dedicated many hours improving how the club ran, organizing new comer rides, making sure Wheel People had quality content, and even manning the hot dog grill after century rides. His contributions are too numerous to list here.
After the dedication ceremony at his bench, we will ride the back roads of Chelmsford and Westford together, as engaging in a club ride is the best way to commemorate his service to the club.
