Re: [RBW] Re: Portland Tweed Ride
I had a friend not much older than him who died on a bike ride from natural causes. He stopped to say he wasn't feeling well and was going back, and just collapsed right there. It was a shock because he rode constantly and we all assumed he was in good condition. It was just his time I guess. I mention him because of the large impact he had on the cycling community here in Austin, sounds similar to your friend in San Diego. He was a jolly fellow who brought, many, many new people into cycling, and in fact when I switched from 100% MTBing to mostly road riding, he was one of the first people that I met at some of the local Austin Cycling association rides. I don't think Vern ever met anyone that wasn't a friend. And he just had a way of making riding fun and inclusive for everyone, even the racerish guys would slow down to ride with Vern's group for a while - it was the one where everyone was smiling and laughing.
