News post & short video of the rather special closing event!
Hollywood actor/musician/songwriter Ronny Cox visited Roanoke, VA last Thursday on his tour to promote his latest CD–Songs with Repercussions.
I put this major(!) happening together and hung out with Ronny later that evening and following morning.
He soon started chatting about his love of biking and advocating for the over 50’s to hop on a bike with him!
