There’s been an incredible wave of love shared across the AFPST snow family and North in honour of Paul, our teammate on the NC500. His energy, kindness, and passion for life were contagious, and it’s clear his selfless drive has supported so many beyond our snow family in all his charity endeavours.

Now we could let the sorrow pull us under, but that’s not how he rode, and that’s not how he lived. So instead we will smile, we will remember the ride we shared with him, and the moments we had.

We can close our eyes and pray that he will come back, or we can open our eyes and see all the incredible memories he has left us, his family, friends and North.

We may ride on with heavy hearts, but also with gratitude. For Paul. For what he gave us. And for each other.

Kerry and family, you are wrapped in the love of this community now and always. We are holding you close. You are not alone, you’re surrounded by a wider family.

We now can remember him and only that he is gone, or we can cherish his memory and let it live on.

We can cry and close our mind, be empty and turn back,

or we could do what Paul would want:

Smile, keep his spirit close, and ride on 🚲
