PLEASE BE CAREFUL! It can't be said enough. Today we were in VA doing the Mountain Mama Challenge. Paul Raley was there and it was good to see him again. The ride starts out with a two mile climb then a three mile downhill. A woman was going at a very high speed passing riders and then tries to pass a group in a turn and goes left of center within the first mile of the descent. The pickup truck coming up the mountain saw what was happening and stopped the truck, but the lady hit the truck. Myself and a friend who is a fellow ski patrol as well as a PA stopped to see if there was anything we could do to help. To make a long story short and spare the bloody details she died on the way to the hospital.
Please, please be careful and ride within your comfort zone.
