Tragic

As this article says:

"When you're on your bicycle, you're very vulnerable. You have a lot of close calls.... Everyone's in a rush, but you've got to chill out and be careful."

When we returned on Sunday I was reading an article about the 3 cyclist that were hit by a Santa Clara county police officer and so far 2 people are dead. One at the scene and one at the hospital. There are reports that say that a couple of the people, other riders that came upon the accident, heard the police office say he must have dozed off....WOW!!! Aren't the cops the ones that tell us to pull over and rest if you need to if you are tired? There have been studies done that show that driving while tired is just as bad as driving drunk. URRGGHHH, very frustrating to read this.

When we were driving around in Solvang I told my dad that one reason I didn't want to do that race was because the roads were open. I have never been comfortable on the road when training here on those 2 lane roads I can't imagine 100 miles of that. No matter how careful you try to be as a driver or a rider in just a split second something could go wrong. Then something terrible like this incident could happen. Very very sad.
