Memorial to Local Female Cyclist

[three]

The local cycling community has lost a young and vibrant member. **Edit: The medical examiner has announced a cause of death as hypothermia. To all who ride in cold weather states/countries, let this be a reminder of the risks involved and the preparation/caution that goes with riding year round.

The cycling community here is an undeniably strong and supportive community. Everyone, regardless of whether they knew Rachel or not, is crushed at this loss.

**Word has it that a charity befitting of Rachel's interests is being chosen so the public can offer donations in her memorial. I will update this thread when that charity is announced in case anyone here is willing to honor her memory with a contribution.**
