I did the SIBA Pumpkin Patch Pedal century ride for the 3rd year, after mostly recovering from the Twin Lights one the prior weekend. This one was as usual really nice, though the morning started with pretty heavy fog, limited visibility and generally humid. Great pumpkin pie at the last rest area!

I heard something about a cyclist collapsing, but have no details on the aftermath. Anyone else here?

I came upon the scene soon after it happened. They were giving someone CPR. From what I was told, he just collapsed off his bike. The assumption that it was a coronary, but I cannot find anything in the news about it.

Darn, thats terrible. Hope it worked out OK. I heard about it at the 50mi rest stop just when i was getting out, when another rider stopped by and mentioned an incident, and that traffic was sopped both ways etc.
