I went for a ride this last Sunday with Aaron E. (see previous Rapha Continental post). Needless to say, the ride was excellent and we spent much of the time getting to know each other a bit better. Reality is, I am pretty sure that I got more out of it than Aaron. Simply due to the fact that I was fortunate enough to learn about his job and the company that he works for, Simulab what a facinating company and rewarding place to work. Click on the image to check more out on Simulab. Ground breaking stuff.
