jaxtun Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Very sad and on a route we as mountain bikers use a lot to get to our local plantation. Husband has been discharged. Another young couples life together cut short. RIP.
KarlvN Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Tragic. My thoughts and prayers to Sonika's husband and family. Lord, please comfort them in this difficult time. Too many lives lost on the roads. I hope that the justice system does not fail Sonika.

Odinson Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 .......bad weekend for cycling: http://www.netwerk24.com/nuus/2015-04-28-langnek-trap-fietsryer-dood-by-lodge RIP This is exactly why I am very cautious whilst riding at the Phambili section at Avianto. Regularly come across small herds of cattle walking along the trail. They're generally quite docile, but you never know when a bull (or two) decides he doesn't like your face and charges/tramples you.
Ampandy Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Terrible news. Thoughts and prayers go out to family and loved ones.
Tubehunter Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 RIP Sonnica! Strongs to Clayton and their family!
