From the SFR Announcements, the RBA posted earlier today (5/20/22):
While riding the Treasure Cove 1200 in Virginia, Metin Uz was struck and killed at a 3 way intersection. This was about 220 miles iinto the ride.
Early information is sparse and often erroneous. I will pass along what i find out when i find out.
I've ridden many miles with Metin. My only regret would be those miles I will not get to ride with him. He was the most meticulously prepared rider I know, and truly very smart on the bike.
When the time comes SFR and the whole NorCal randonneuring community will gather and remember Metin and hopefully support each other as we come to terms with our loss.

Terrible news. I met Metin through the forum 10 years ago while riding double centuries. He'll be missed.
