Bruce was killed in an automobile accident on Saturday morning near West Chester, PA. Fittingly, he was on his way to a ride. Sorry to have to report this, -Ray Sachs I live in California and posted a message in rec.rides looking for places to rent and ride in the West Chester PA area while I was on vacation. It was the height of summer, my form was good and I really didn't want a couple of weeks setback which happens to me with a full week off the bike. Plus I can't go a week without riding because... it's a week without riding. All the shops I was referred to only had hybrids or mtbs. Bruce posted a reply and offered to loan me a bike and take me on a ride. I brought my pedals, he set me up on a Kestrel with 9sp DuraAce that fit me perfectly. He took me on a great ride with a Friend of his named Charlie. We hammered for 55 miles through beautiful quiet backroads. I couldn't believe how generous he was to a stranger except that upon meeting him, going to his house and riding with him, I found that cycling was so deep a part of his heart and life that a fellow cyclist was not a stranger to him. Thank you Bruce. I think we can all only hope that someone say this kind of thing about us. Thanks Bill C |
