His bike enthusiam is founded on a marathoners fitness. Forrest has completed over 100 marathons…yikes! I am tired just typing that. Fitness has been a lifetime passion. On a bike he is fond of his Fat Bike and Mountain Bike . He dabbles in road riding but single track is where it’s at for Forrest. Living nearby with his wife Mary Ann is nice as is keeping up with his daughter who is pursuing a degree in archetecture at the U of M. Perhaps she can redesign the Shop…hmmmm.
