Ride London Accident

[mjr]

It is with great sadness that I heard this morning that my club mate Richard died as a result of Injuries recieved during this event.

May he rest in peace.

Summary on page 5 updated. It might get updated later if more is published about Glen Caswell's recovery. Comments on the facebook photo suggest that he was taken out by another rider - and that RideLondon removed the post from their facebook page and haven't bothered to contact him to see how he's recovering :-/

I was riding with someone who did the BHF L2B this year and I think there was also a fatality, it's not unusual. If you have several thousand people of differing levels of ability and group riding experience, it can happen. I'm sure you'll have a great and safe day out as will zillions of others. Just take it easy and be aware of what's around you.
