A couple weeks ago, we had lunch with Bikes for Christ founder and talented musician Pat Simmons and casually mentioned that the Osprey Observer needed a jingle… and voila! The man is a genius! 🎸✨

The MacDonald Training Center (MTC) marked a significant milestone on February 12 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the opening of its new Tampa facility.
