TWO BICYCLISTS KILLED BY FLEEING SUSPECT

On a sad note, two bicyclists were kit and killed early this morning in our immediate area by a fleeing burglary suspect. The incident happened around 7 a.m. this morning.

No additional details are available other than they were bicyclists just like many of us. I believe at this time the names are being withheld  pending notification of next of kin.

We learned of the incident at the completion of this morning’s bike ride, not knowing who was involved or the location of the incident.

UPDATE:  Both suspects were caught by our local police departments:

Regarding my 57th cycling-day-in-a-row, I chose to cycle with our club’s intermediate 14-16 mph group this morning, which today only had a total of four cyclists. Many in our club are currently vacationing prior to the new school year convening.

We pretty much stayed within the boundaries of Bonaventure and Weston for our 31-mile Sunday fun ride. Seldom did we venture past 17 mph. Neither did we slow all that much when biking into the 10 mph east, southeast wind.

Among the four of us, Richard and I did 100% of the pulling during the entire ride.  Richard did more pulling than me. I didn't mind and I'm sure Richard didn't mind either.  We were obviously the stronger of the three men and one women.

Nothing more to say about this ride.  It was pretty much routine and non-eventful.        

Be safe and be alert!
