We are rising funds for Carlos family in these difficult time. Carlos — a father, brother, son, friend, and a cyclist whose presence brought light, laughter, and inspiration to everyone around him.
Carlos had a rare gift: he made every ride, every conversation, and every shared moment feel special. On the bike, he was the steady wheel you could always count on — strong, calm, and full of good humor no matter how steep the climb. Off the bike, he was even more remarkable. His kindness, his patience, and his deep love for his daughters and son, family and friends left an imprint on all who knew him.
He taught us that life, like cycling, isn’t just about speed or distance — it’s about the people who ride beside you, the stories shared along the way, and the joy found in the journey itself.
Though Carlos has taken a different road now, his spirit will always ride with us — in the morning light, in the quiet hum of tires on asphalt, and in the laughter that still echoes from every ride we shared.
We’ll miss him deeply, but we’ll carry his strength, his smile, and his example with us — mile after mile.
Ride in peace, Carlos. You will never be forgotten.
