So sorry for all involved.

I couldn't read the full story due to starting to cry. The lady training for her event, and how excited she was, hit too close to home. It makes me think here shortyly will be one year since my crash (dog tho, not vehicle) that has left me with some pernament damage to my body.

My injuries have bothered me that I have not been able to ride all of this season. The only thing that has kept me saine is the thought of something like your post. I wonder if the dog had not stopped my ride, could there have been worse down the route for me. So, it was just not meant to be.

Unfortunately none of know when "our number is up". I hope the lady is riding her heart out on heaven's smooth streets paved with gold that are surely in cycling heaven idiot driver and stray dog free.
