Chris..he was a friend of mine..we rode in the same club (NVM)when I lived in st Pete. He was riding with friends when it happened..and just cruising back from a training ride..slumped forward on the bike...drifted off the shoulder and fell off the bike. CPR was started immediately. Talked to 2 people today about it. He was super elite fit...the last person you would expect to have a heart attack. Sean was as nice of a guy..as he was a beast on the bike. He will be missed. He left a wife and a special needs child behind. It put updating my will on top of my list this week.

Chris,
That is a tragedy.
Ride safe...we don't need a loss in the northernmost state next.

Geoff- thanks for the update... hate to hear about it, but I'm glad it wasn't a hit and run or anything like that...

Steve- I agree, we've already lost two to suicide in the last 10 days up here... we don't need any more loss...
