Local cyclist killed

Ugh. Just horrible.

Thanks guys, and I'm so sorry for your situation Blueberry.

I was rattled for a few days, but I'm beginning to accept it as the freak accident it was. Well -- it was the drivers fault, and I hope she is put in prison for making a reckless decision that killed someone. But, also, it takes so many what-ifs for these to happen -- for the driver to make the bad decision to pass, for the hill to block sight of oncoming traffic, for there to be an oncoming car at the very moment the driver would jerk back and end up hitting the cyclist. That made me feel a little better, somehow. It's such a terrible thing though.

Oh how sad...I'm so sorry, Jessie.

I hate that tragic crashes like this ever happen to any cyclist. There are far too many lost too soon.
