Lenny Ortins

You Know What I Mean?

This Wednesday's ride will be in memory of Lenny Ortins who we lost one year ago.

Lenny's friends will easily relate to and recall "You Know What I Mean."  Many of you may have even heard Lenny’s voice when you read it.  Lenny was always a joy to ride with and would typically be up there pulling anyone who cared to follow.  We all have our memories of Lenny and I hope we each take the time to recall them. Also please visit Lenny’s memorial on the Danvers Rail Trail just off of Maple Street. 

(For those interested there are songs by that title by Phil Collins, The Turtles, Ricky Nelson and The Cults though Neil Diamond's "If You Know What I Mean" is better known.)

This is the SIXTH Anniversary of the Wednesday Rotating Lunch Ride!  On April 17, 2019  these 12 members (John Gibson, Tom Swanson, Steve Tgettis, Jenn Parkos, Dan Krechmer, Lenny Ortins, Amy Ellis, Jen Peat, Beverly Tangvik, Jim Goldberg, Karen Ontell and me) gathered in this same parking lot and the rest is history.  Last year's ride page (here) has a nice picture of those young(er) riders.
