groupw Posted June 10, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 10, 2019 RIP Tom Bridge - I got to know him professionally first then found out he liked to ride. He brought his bike when he was in town and would join our group rides. One night there were just 3 of us. It was a casual ride, but weather didn’t look great so only 3 of us showed up. We got to the normal turnaround and Tom and the other guy wanted to go a little further. I looked at the radar and things were clear so we added 6 more miles. About 4 miles from the end, it started to rain. Marble sized hail started falling with the rain! By the time we got to the finish we were soaked and the rain just got heavier as we put our bikes away. Told Tom I didn’t mind the rain, but the exfoliation almost killed me! He was on a group ride with some friends in Iowa and had a heart attack. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
