slowpoke Posted July 7, 2008 Share Chippy, thank you for the info. I'd seriously adivse everyone who was unfortunate enough to be there and witness this to go for proper professional counselling - we can all be there for you guys ina support function but only a professional counsellor will be able to help deal with this hideous experience. I'm thinking of all of you as you deal with this horrific tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted July 7, 2008 Share Heard some of the track guys where involved as well. I pray for all... That makes me worried as it would then be some of our club members....have e-mailed the club chair to find out further details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted July 7, 2008 Share Just got some details. By the sounds of things a gent riding in the bunch got a front tyre blow out which caused him to loose control, he went through the bunch and underneath a truck which was passing the bunch at the time. 4 LPCC riders were involved in the subsequent crash one broken leg, one broken collar bone, one damaged his arm and the other damaged a knee. The guy who was riding next to the gent who had the blow out also suffered a broken collar bone. Once again my condolances to all the families and friends involved. Please be carefull out there everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electronic ign Posted July 7, 2008 Share Ed is what I was told his name was.It was a fatal injury to his head,I was pacing the bunch at about 36kms .the bunch was two abreast and neat,then the horrible sound a loud thump and the clatter of bicycleshitting the ground.I raised my arm up and slowed the bunch down to a halt.my wife had looked back and started screaming-there has been a horrible accident.I went back to help it was a carnage,bikes and cyclistwere all over the road.So sad to see so many fellow cyclist injured andpain and ED may he RIP.Most of the injured cyclist are freinds of mine,Di broke her leg,this is sosad the few ladies that we have cycling with us and they get hurt.I spoke to a few witnesess and went back later to the accident site,the police were still there and the truck driver,I spoke to them and witnesses(cyclist) all had the same response- This accident was not the truck drivers fault but the cyclist that went intothe centre of the road and with the suction ot the truck he was pulled under. To all his friends and family my heart goes out to you.ED RIPCinio Branco2008-07-07 12:01:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBOY Posted July 7, 2008 Share Condolences to the family, may you find some calm in the thought that i believe he left doing what he loved. A speedy recovery to all the others. The LIDO route has now cost 4 lives that i am aware off in less than a year. This might be a good time to consider the thoughts of changing the meeting place and route to let's say Carnival City or driving to the Circus and cycling from there on quiet roads around Heidelberg and Nigel.
