Brown Bread

"we're all gonna die someday, lord, we're all gonna die someday"

Got the news this morning that a colleague crashed his bike and died yesterday. Sad, had a young family and was, bad cliche i know, full of life. Happened up near Clarendon on a notorious bend, i have had the odd wobble up there.
It's very subdued here today even though he didn't work here we all knew him well and will miss him.
Makes you think about your own mortality and certainly makes me think more carefully about zapping though the hills at high speed.
I don't think it will stop me, only make me more wary and careful. Part of being involved, even on the fringes, in a dangerous hobby is that you will lose the odd mate along the way. We all know the risks and take every chance to avoid injury but accidents happen and there isn't much you can do about that.
