My deep condolences to Brian and all on the list who knew Dave well. This is a sad day. Al and I got to sit next to Dave at the Velorendezvous Friday night dinner last year. I only wish I had the knowledge of cycling history to truly appreciate, and have taken more advantage of, the chance I had to meet and talk with him.
It seems wonderful to me that he left this earth atop what surely must have been a favorite bike, out for his morning ride.
