Damn/Very Sad : Bruce Taylor (threads merged)
Some of you may have known him or have heard of him. Bruce Taylor a roadie friend of mine and many, many others had an accident on the PET (Pacific Electric Trail) He avoided a small child and went down. He never regained consciousness and passed away this morning. Bruce was a great guy and an inspiration to all us older guys. He did the Paris to Paris ride amoung many other long distance events. I've always aspired to be like him. He will be dearly missed.
Bruce is on the left. Then myself, Suzy Degazon and Jana Lingo.

I'm humbled to read of this man who sacrificed his safety for that of a little one.
May his effort, love for bicycling be a testimony to those that never knew him or those that love this sport of cycling. May the Lord have Mercy on all of as we enjoy his dirt. |

You have to qualify to ride it. First run in 1891, the 1200-kilometer Paris-Brest-Paris, or "PBP" as it is commonly called, is a grueling test of human endurance and cycling ability. Organized every four years by the host Audax Club Parisien, the Paris-Brest-Paris Randonneurs is the oldest bicycling event still run on a regular basis on the open road. Beginning on the southern side of the French capital, it travels west 600 kilometers to the port city of Brest on the Atlantic Ocean and returns along the same route. Today's randonneur cyclists, while no longer riding the primitive machines used a hundred years ago over dirt roads or cobblestones, still have to face up to rough weather, endless hills, and pedaling around the clock. A 90-hour time limit ensures that only the hardiest randonneurs earn the prestigious PBP finisher's medal and have their name entered into the event's "Great Book" along with every other finisher going back to the very first PBP. To become a PBP ancien (or ancienne for the ladies) is to join a very elite group of cyclists who have successfully endured this mighty challenge. No longer a contest for professional racing cyclists (whose entry is now forbidden), PBP evolved into a timed randonnée or brevet for hard-riding amateurs during the middle part of the 20th century. The event is held in August every four years.

Sad news. I had been following the story on the PCH Randonneurs Google Group. Be careful out there everyone.
