man that's just awful... I'm sure he never thought that would be the way he died... ya always assume that if you were to die while cycling it would be caused from being hit by a car or a downhill crash...
T's and P's to his family and friends...
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

Yeah, I was just posting in the TE member race results section. I'd just done my first race there the night before.
Very sad. It's so hard for me to imagine how that happened...I guess these guys must get too aggressive and forced him off the track? I wish I knew more.I get to have pizza after this, right? No...wait...cheesecake....

Geez, that's terrible. And the guy who just got run over by a MAX commuter train (riding with headphones!) survives?

This is sad.
Lynne, you must be having many different thoughts and emotions... having just raced there? 
I'd understood the article to say something about a helmet not being able to take an impact at 30 m.p.h.? If that is true... it's quite disconcerting, as many riders ride 30 m.p.h. or faster! Hopefully helmets are designed to take the impact???
Thoughts and prayers to friends, families, teammates, anyone impacted by this recent tragedy.~Wishing you inner peace and abundant joy~

Even the best helmets do not protect against ALL kinds of head trauma. They are insurance against certain types of injury, within a certain range of speed, mechanism of injury and the laws of physics.
