On the IPWR. He inspired the **** out of me and seemed like a great and humble guy. I'm crushed.

That's just horrible. I learned about Mike watching the documentary on the trans American race.
RIP

[bicycletricycle]

that sucks, I wonder if exhaustion played into it.

[daker13]

Wow... I watched that movie too... what a damn bummer.

[shovelhd]

I am sorry for the loss of your friend.

Very sad. I was following the race yesterday, was not expecting this.

[Zee]

If anything, he went out in pursuit of his next goal.

We should all be so lucky.

One of the best in the sport; he will be missed.

[SlowPokePete]

Oh, no...

Rest in peace...

I have watched enough documentaries and videos where he was in it, this thread is making me really sad for I feel like I knew him. seemed like a great dude and what an athlete. RIP Mike Hall.


just read his twitter

https://twitter.com/normally_human?lang=en


he had some close calls already earlier in the ride as well, what a shame

[guido]

Such sad news! He surely will be missed.

[Tickdoc]

Wow that's sad news. RIP.

[JAGI410]

Horrible news. He was so inspiring. I enjoyed following his pursuits on instagram.

[Corso]

Godspeed. Such a shame.

[dbnm]

For the last few days, his face kept coming up in my Instagram. I'd see him several times a day. Kind of stuck with me.

And then I read this.

Really sad.

Same here. Whatever the circumstances this is such a shame and loss of a very passionate cyclist.

[rodcad]

He was one BAD ASS cyclist. So sad. He'll forever be an inspiration to any cyclist who's aware of him. RIP.

[rodcad]

A must watch "Inspired to ride" on Netflix.

[roguedog]

WHAT??!?! I was just watching an interview with him this morning about him being overtaken by Kristoff.

Gosh darn it <since i can't type anything more emphatic without getting bleeped>

He looked totally wasted this morning.

Dude..

[Duende]

Such an inspiring rider and great guy to boot. :(

[plattyjo]

Such terrible, terrible news. A beloved Japanese randonneur was recently killed in NZ; it's horrible to hear about the deaths of any cyclist, but all the more so when they're so inspiring.

[doomridesout]

That's awful. Like a lot of people here, I got a sense of who he was through the documentaries he's been featured in and his social media feed, and he seemed like a down to earth, passionate guy. RIP, in a sense it's good he went out doing something he loved but this is really sad.

I just watched that a few months ago. He will be missed. RIP

Wow. Mike Hall was hit at 6:20am. Almost to the minute of Micky's death in New Zealand during the Tiki Tour 1200k.

Stay safe, everyone.

[1X10]

Wow...I had been closely following the IndPac this time around and I see this in the AM...Wow...:(

[numbskull]

Cycling is the less without him.

[bbeck66]

This is so sad. I hope he didn't suffer.

[tumbler]

So sad.

[bobswire]

One of those guys I thought would live forever, I true inspiration. He lived life to the fullest and will be missed.

[Raffy]

RIP Mike Hall :(

[huck*this]

Mike Hall was an absolute beast on the bike. The amount of miles that guy can ride day in and day out is nothing short of god like. Amazing ambassador to the sport and will truly be missed.

[ripvanrando]

Crushed. RIP.

Mickey killed in NZ and now a week later Mike is run over.

His completion of 4300 miles and 250,000 feet of climbing on TABR over 17 days unsupported is a monumental feet. It is sort of like doing PBP back to back six times in a row in Charly Miller time. Unfathomable. Sorry for the mindless rambling, I am very upset.

[sooshi]

so sad

Great YouTube tribute and inspiring story to keep getting out there despite the hell we deal with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3NuYGU13yo

RIP
I too lost a close friend in an accident. This is actually the reason I stopped riding road bikes. In my area riding a road bike is very dangerous.
