    I just saw this on a Rock and Road ride email I subscribe to. Apparently, two of the guys on last Sunday's ride saw a cyclist on the curb as they were headed back over Cannon to the shop. He was turning blue and his eyes were rolling back. They performed CPR and called 911. They got him breathing again but the onsite EMT thought he might not make it. It was mentioned further along in the email that he was in ICU for two days but will make a full recovery. Awesome lifesaving response by fellow cyclists!

    They mentioned them by only first name--I don't know them myself. The ride leader said they're not looking for any recognition at all hence me not noting names here. If I have a mishap, I hope I'm found by people like that.
