Gilbert Ortega cruises by the Auburn Journal office making his social rounds on his Huffy bicycle Wednesday morning. Ortega celebrated his 80th birthday and touched on his special day, "I'm always happy even when it's not my birthday. You only live once and after that, no more Gilbert. That's it."

Auburn resident and local personality, Gilbert Ortega, celebrates his 80th birthday on October 15th. With his pin-wheels spinning on the Huffy bike fenders, horn tooting and great big smile, Gilbert may be the most recognizable bike rider in town. Look for him cruising around downtown and old town Auburn, honk your horn to say hi, and he'll return the gesture.

Check out Gilbert's photo slide show on the video section of this website.
