Matt Terry

With great sadness I am posting this message to let the cycling community know that Matt Terry, Saugeen Shores BMX VP has passed away. Matt has served various positions with Saugeen Shores BMX since its start in 2000. His MFM store was a downtown Port Elgin hot spot for cyclists in the late 90's. He was the 1st shop that helped me out while I was racing Downhill. It was his store along with a BMX parent Claude G. that masterminded the Saugeen BMX idea. Matt is best known for being the man on the top of the largest start hill in Ontario. Matt served as the Head Starter during local Saugeen races as well as the O-Cup Provincial starter during that series. He was always a smiling face whenever he stopped by the Chappell's Racing BMX Camps. Matt served with me when I was SSBMX President, he was a friend and early riding buddy. There will be a tribute to Matt Terry at the 1st gate drop of 2010. I will post that date when it is determined.
