They are safe. Everyone that I know/know of personally, they are all safe.

I wasn't going to mention it till it was over. There WAS an American rider killed the first night just outside of Loudeac. They have not released his name, said he was a 58 year old man. From the brief statements it sounds like the rider crossed the center line of the road and was hit by an oncoming truck. It was around 7:30 at night, when they'd all been riding for almost 24 hours. Maximum sleep deprivation time. I have also seen two statements that the rider may be from the DC/Virginia area. But it is really hard to know what is accurate at this point.

I will let you know more when I hear something solid, I promise.
