Rob!!!

So a couple months ago I went on a ride with Johnny Omara(40+ Nat Champ) and formal World champ Joey Erwin, like 1990 downhill something like that. We also went out with this guy named Rob. He is the founder of Canyon Cycles. Anywho so we head out it is like 100 degrees out, no joke and start riding. Rob is the weekend warrior champ and he says that he is going to take it easy today cause he is a little tired from last weekends ride. We hit the first climb no problem and everything is okay...little did I know that Rob was about to through down one of the hardest attacks I have ever seen in my life! he starts going like he is armstrong himself and continues to drop the hammer. Me and Joey get dropped like a sack of shit as O'show goes chasing after him. So 10 mins later me a Joey get to the top and Rob and Oshow are gone. We head down the hill and catch up before the next climb that is even hard and longer than the first. Remember it is still like 105 out and tht is HOT. So we hit the climb and start heading up, all of a sudden Rob starts to make another attack, except this time it is out the back. His shit hit the fan quick. We start looking around and dont see him anymore. Little did we know he passed out under a tree and sat there for 45 mins trying to cool down. He said he was so f---ed up that he decided to quite bike riding. He hasent riddin his bike since. Poor Rob. Adigga is MIA.
