Our friend, Eric Montemayor at Community Banks of Colorado just sent this message -- "I just wanted to give you a "Heads Up" on this week's rodeo. My Friend, Coach and Guinness World Record holder Bull Rider, Greg Casteel, will be riding this Thursday to defend his title as Oldest Active Bull Rider. I'm hoping to draw a crowd to witness this event. See you there!

Below is an article about Greg's World Record Ride at the Carbondale Wild West Rodeo -- August 6, 2015.
