Thought this deserved a post - Tom was a great guy. We were always at the same races and he was a regular Podium Finisher and Kona qualifier. Tragic.

RIP TT,
Thanks for posting this. What a rip-off. I hope nobody suffered.
TT was at more than a few of the same races. We're close to the same age. I never beat him, and oddly, never got to meet him.
My best buddy was in a similar situation on a ride in the mountains of north LA. He didn't get hit but saw everything happen as his mates got run over. It changed him significantly, that was more than a half dozen years ago.
Sorry to the family and friends.
I saw this on a white board in a window box at my daughters middle school...

Tom was a legend. His smile and laugh filled the entire room wherever he went. His positivity was contagious.

I agree Steve, I am so saddened, I can hardly put together a coherent thought. He was so kind, generous and devoted to being the best person he could be. Such a tragedy.
