This past week, a touching celebration of one man's passion for life became a reality. Matt's enthusiasm was so contagious that his life was filled with wonderful friends and family, art, music, delicious food and the bicycle. Five years ago, an annual tradition began with Matt Styer and his tightly knit group of EMU cycling friends. Each year in the spring, they took off to explore a region of America for a week on their bicycles. 
In December of 2011, Matt lost his battle with cancer. So, this year, the group of riders decided to continue his legacy and honor Matt with a Memorial Tour in the Finger Lakes region around Ithica, New York. Here are some photos their trip with Michael Kennel, Julian Seth, Nathan Maust, Benjamin Sawatzky, David Troyer, Shawn Ramer Hunter and Kurt Rosenberger in their Styer kit with Matt. 
Matt's inspirational energy continues to bring his loved ones to a happily beautiful place.
