make the beast with two backs this sucks so bad... I knew Rich from the Austin crowd... saw him, shit... just a week or two ago, was joking w/ him as usual.

Rich was a great guy (make the beast with two backsing past tense is weird) and this is a real loss  >:(

My condolences to his family and friends.

Always sad.

so, has it been determined exactly, yet, what caused the accident and loss of life?

too early for that yet.  I heard that the authorities will investigate it and try to recreate the accident but as of now there were no witnesses and the bike had no apparent collision damage.  We think he most likely tried to avoid something, maybe a deer in the road or whatever, and lost control.  Once he got thrown off he must have impacted the ground or something else hard enough to cause the fatal internal injuries.

It really sucks not knowing.  To be honest it has shaken me up quite a bit.  Rich was a more experienced rider than me, I had ridden with him several times and knew him to be safety-conscious and always with full gear but yet he went out for a ride one day and just died.

RIP.

That's pretty much my worst nightmare.  Do it all right, yet still don't make it home, and nobody knows why.  It prompts reflection on why we do what we do.

Just today I learned that a guy from my highschool class ('85) died in a hockey game this week.  One of two deaths there in a single day.  Shoot, score, collapse.  From what I read here it sounds possible that Rich's death could have been unrelated to his ride.  No less tragic for sure.  I hope the cause can be determined.  Godspeed.

The wife and I are planning on riding in that area this weekend.  I'm not telling her about what happened, she'll just be too freaked.  I'll be thinking about it a bit for sure. the whole thing just stinks.
