Bicycle Radio to host Post-Show tribute to Doug Roether.
Mesa, Arizona. September 11th, 2009 — Bicycle Radio is going to do something a little different following their live internet show on Monday, September 14.“We’re going to host our normal ‘Escape the Peloton’ show just like always,” said Producer, Larry Hendon, “but after our show, this Monday, the celebration begins. Celebrating the life of a good friend to us here at Bicycle Radio and a good friend to thousands of cyclists here in Arizona.”
That “good friend” Hendon is referring to is Doug Roether, who passed away Tuesday. Roether was a long time Sales Rep for companies such as KHS Bicycles and Reynolds Wheels.
“We’re going to leave our live stream running and leave all the mics open and just have a little Wake, I’d guess you’d say,”said, Sean Mellor, Host of Bicycle Radio’s “Escape the Peloton”. “We’re just going to share stories and talk about a friend, basically.”
“We realize that, obviously, our listeners outside the state of Arizona and in other countries, never had the privilege of knowing Doug the way we did out here in Arizona,” said Hendon,” but everyone’s more than welcome to stick around after the show with us.”
“It’s the least we can do for Doug” added Mellor.
