"Cyclist Death at the Sea Otter Classic"

[thomasmb]

San Jose mountain biker Mark Reynolds, 48, died after his bicycle crashed during the Sea Otter Classic competition at Laguna Seca Raceway on Saturday, the Monterey County Sheriff's Office reported. Deputies said that around 12:30 p.m., Reynolds, an experienced competitor, failed to negotiate a narrow wooden bridge and crashed into a dirt embankment, suffering head and neck injuries. Reynolds was taken by helicopter to Natividad Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The coroner's office plans to conduct an autopsy on Monday to determine exact cause of death. Officials with the race said it was the first death in the event's 17-year history.

This should all be a reminder to all of us cyclists and fans that mountain biking is dangerous. We all see the videos of crashes and riders eventually get back up but this time is not the case. So strange that this has happened at the inaugural season opener. Please pray for Mark and his Family. Hopefully Mark you've found some rad trails up there in heaven.

Ride on

Dichterbij huis gebeuren eveneens trieste zaken; afgelopen zaterdag is er tijdens de toerversie van de Amstel Gold óók iemand overleden helaas.

Eens. Niet alleen ver weg, ook hier.
Vorig jaar was dit ook al het geval.
