I wish I had good news to report this week. I'm fine. Exhausted but fine. A female cyclist in my club was run off the road/struck (still not clear) by a menacing driver on Saturday morning. She is in critical condition in the hospital and it's not looking good. I have been running all of the behind the scenes club stuff with this crisis, everything from trying to track down other riders with onboard cameras to see if they caught a vehicle that matches the description to an official press release to a message to our club members. I called the victim's husband this morning to offer support and assure him that our community stands behind her and her family. And then I hung up the phone and had a massive breakdown. I am so sick over this. I am angry, scared to ride those roads, and exhausted of beating the same drum day in day out with reckless and just plain evil motor vehicle drivers. And this was after I spent both Friday and Saturday at our region's largest cycling events promoting our club. Just, ugh.
I hope your friend pulls through. I'm so sorry. I hope you all can catch the driver who did it :-(
your anger and feeling sick over it are so, so valid.
I'm glad you can work out a bit more. Thinking of you.
maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.
