I just read the last couple of day's updates on Cat's website and was interested to read that her crew has not told her about Bob Breedlove's death. I am sure that is for the best, as hearing of a fellow racer coming to a tragic end on the race would make it very hard to continue, I'd expect. But it also seems as if it would be difficult to keep her from hearing somehow - a phone call or from another rider (the site mentions her being passed by and then passing a solo male rider, and speaking to him). I can only imagine how she is going to feel when she finally finds out. It's such a tragedy.

I am enjoying following Cat's ride virtually, though. She is truly an inspiration!
