Subject: Fatal bike accident - Shawn Harrison

Guys - this is the rider that was hit on Saturday in the midst of the 
NCCC ride - he didn't make it. Sometimes even when you're 
careful, some negligent fool causes a tragic death.

Looks like there will be a large group ride up to the spot where 
Shawn was killed. 

I'm planning to go - probably should send this to the full Recyclers 
list in case anyone wants to go. I'm going to do the ride from 
Magee Park.

Hello all,

To catch anyone up that missed the first e-mail, Shawn Harrison 
was fatally hit by a pickup truck this past Saturday while on a 
training ride at W. Lilac and 395.  The vehicle failed to stop while 
traveling east on W. Lilac, as Shawn traveled north on 395.  

Please join us this Saturday morning, June 16th to celebrate 
Shawn's life and enjoy one of his favorite activities... cycling.  

The will be two options for the ride, one leaving from Carlsbad and 
the other from Bonsall near San Luis Rey Downs. We will all climb 
West Lilac to 395, which is the corner of the incident.  We plan to 
erect a road side tribute and have a moment of silence.  Chris 
Harrison, Shawn's wife and other friends and family will also join us 
here. 

>From there, please enjoy your ride back home or ride on to 
complete your workout.

Whether you knew Shawn or not, and would like celebrate his life 
with us, we'd appreciate you joining us.
