Please check in with your peeps and share this news to all you know who are cyclists/triathletes. If you think you may know who the cyclist is, please send email to joanne@3pconsults.com or look on my website at www.3pconsults.com for my office phone number.
Thanks, KC for posting this. I logged on to put it up here if one of you hadn’t. I am always worried that would happen, because cyclist are flying down that hill where the Kroger exit is (he hit a car that was pulling out of Kroger-on the driver’s side).
Bike shop owners: Could a serial number on the bike be traced to a shop and buyer? (assuming he is the 1st owner)
would safety dan know who he is? It is THAT kroger? Man… I always get scared down that hill too because of that light in the middle and sometimes get dropped. after all… maybe my fears are legit. who rides a cervelo?
Man…this sucks. My prayers are with him. Funny that they described the stud as 40-50 when he is 61. To put a positive spin on a very negative situation, this certainly would have made his day in any other circumstance. All the best to him.
Yes, mike is an avid tri guy in Cincinatti - I do think he has a family. Didn’t know he qd for Kona
Geez - Mark and I were extra careful last night as well on the descents since it was raining. We just happened to talk about our daughters a little before the ride.
Maybe we can get together a little care package for him/family while recovering (hopefully) in the hospital room?
I was hit 8 years ago and they gave my name out over the radio and someone who heard it on the radio called my grandmother to see if I was O.K. and that was the first she had heard of it and it freaked her out. I wish that they had not disclosed the information in such a public manner.
I always wear ID when riding or running. Needed a medical alert ID, and being the cheap SOB that I am, found a great low budjet alternative. I wear a dog tag from the pet store. Only $4 for 3 lines. Room for name, phone #, an d Dr’s. mane and #.

From the InfinIT web site:
“He’s a three-time, top 10 finisher at the Ironman World Championships, the current U.S. National Ironman Champion, and a two-time Triathlon All-American.”
