Sue, what a terrible, terrible accident and I can't even imagine the pain you must be feeling to have lost such a wonderful friend. I cannot understand why this accident had to happen-- big, open space without blind spots. The article describes an area much like where I ride and I can remember on one occasion a car fulll of college kids who played chicken with me. I hope we don't lose any TE'ers to reckless drivers. Be safe everyone. And Sue, sending a gentle hug to you. (((Sue)))
