Please keep a fellow slowtwitcher Scott Tobin in your prayers, as his son Shane Tobin was on a training ride with a friend training for Ironman Florida and was hit by a car that fled.
I wish them a speedy recovery.
That’s terrible.
I wish and pray all of the best.
I’m about ready to just buy a computrainer and be done with it.
The driver said he thought he hit a deer. The guys were riding at night so the should have had lights on their bikes. I don’t know many deer that have reflectors up their asses. They should throw the book at him, do a good investigation and find out if he was drinking or not. This happens way too much.
The guys were wearing the correct gear:
They took their long road rides seriously and were equipped with front lights, bright red LED tail lights and reflective gear. Hensinger said every time the men took a long ride, Brett provided him with a map of where they were headed and approximately what time they would get to each point.
Very sad.
Thanks for posting this.
They are in my thoughts. Thanks for posting.
