Is there any lesson here? Not taking a shot at her, but tragedies like this are used to prevent future tragedies in aviation,and other potentially dangerous activities-SCUBA MINING LUMBERING FIRE FIGHTING
Was it downhill? Meaning fast
Were they pace line riding-drafting etc-
Any details available?
From everything I've read, this was just a normal group ride. At least a dozen times I've been riding along and noticed that my wheel was about 1 inch away from the wheel in front of me. Just a moment's inattention, or an almost imperceptible reduction in speed by the rider in front of you, is enough to do it. It could have happened to any one of us who doesn't ride alone.
This is a real tragedy.
