I lost a dear friend and training partner in February of 2008. His son called me at the request of his mom (also a friend) to tell me that he had passed away. I remember sinking to the floor. It was totally unexpected (unknown heart issue). There are days it's not too bad, and days when I run or ride a particular route that just hurt. Will keep you and his family in my prayers.Lanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245597662541844156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-43517308582693328312011-09-09T07:51:50.501-05:002011-09-09T07:51:50.501-05:00Sorry to hear about Denny.

Barbara, his wife, told us while we were at the hospital right after his accident that he was so very excited to take pictures of our race the following day. He was a great man and will be missed very much.Iron Girl Nyhushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427794687709898655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-18225248521728831422011-09-08T08:37:57.972-05:002011-09-08T08:37:57.972-05:00I am very sorry for the loss of your friend.

My husband is a mountain biker, and I just try to forget sometimes how dangerous it is, and how difficult it can be to even know if someone has had an accident which can delay rescue, which may not be easy due to access anyway. I really hope this didn't happen in his case. I am thankful that we have roadids and always know where each other is riding.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624297955496298110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-37034909793359440052011-09-08T07:45:42.923-05:002011-09-08T07:45:42.923-05:00This is the second time this year that I have hear...This is the second time this year that I have heard of someone having a devastating crash on a mountain bike.
