I had the honor of doing about 10 days of ride support for Perry and team on one of the Five Points of Life rides that he participated in about 8 years ago. He was a good man and great to talk with. He also donated a ton of his own blood for the lives of others. He will be missed. Ride on, Perry!

For many years, Perry's morning ride at around 6 a.m. was  NW 16th Blvd/23rd Ave. from 34th St. to 98th St., north up to 39th Ave, east back to 34th St., and south back to 16th. He was lit up like a Christmas tree for visibility, too. You may have seen him. I used to join him sometimes when I lived on that route way back when.

I believe Perry McGriff was a GCC member since 1995, and rode clear across the United States in 1997.

I knew him casually as he showed up for some Team VetMed rides a few years ago.  Nice man.
