I have to say a big AMEN to that. Before we even moved to the area I had emailed Tony and he graciously responded to my questions about the club. My first experience was on Mike Dalton's Sunday ride and Mike was and continues to be so gracious and generous. Too early on I was on a ride which I didnt' need to be on and Tony stayed with me and made sure I got back safely. Two years later I really attribute my transition to N.C. to the friendship I have made with the Gryros family. Thank you everyone and I feel blessed to be a part of the Gyros family.
