I cruise reddit, and tonight after a long week and longer day, I found this little gem. Send some love and be careful out there this weekend…
In my opinion, the worst part is he was updating the blog himself. But, it gets more horrific…
the last GPS post speaks volumes…
Seriously people… be careful. You never know when your number will be called.

I’ve been near that spot, through Grinnell one year during Ragbrai.

Damn shame. My condolences to his friends and family.
I still wonder about that report on the truck that killed him. I had a right front tire that got caught sideways in the fenderwell a few years back (suspension failure) and I never even left my lane much less the road. Granted I was a race driver at the time (3 weekends a month at SCCA races) but still, I had no warning and the locked tire would have a bunch more drag than a flat one. I think the truck buzzed the cyclist, misjudged the distance and when he hit the guy the bike punctured the tire and as he was already going that way he went of the road and flipped.
Creepy foreshadowing under “The Rescue”. So sorry to hear about this happening.
