After a hard-fought, two year battle with cancer we have lost a good BCI friend, Bob Fairfield on October 3rd. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Monica McCarthy, his devoted wife.

Bob was President of the Orange County Wheelmen (OCW) and he joined us in January 2014, becoming the BCI Director at Large in the 2022/23 term. Bob was influential in helping both BCI and OCW by doing the best to represent the interest of cyclists and to help put on good events, most notably the OC Bicycle Rally.

A funeral service will be held on October 25th at 10:30 AM at St. Kilian Church, Estanciero Dr. in Mission Viejo. Monica has provided the following obituary that in her own words, “is beyond beautiful.” For those of you who knew Bob, these words will certainly resonate…
