Terribly sad article

[boglin]

Just read on the BBC News website:

A cyclist who died in a road accident in Somerset had been on the final days of a charity bike ride from John O' Groats to Land's End, police have said.

Graham Lees, a 48-year-old father-of-two who lived near Warwick, died on Thursday on the A38 near Taunton when he was struck by two vehicles.

I found his Just Giving page and made a small donation. Seems particuarly tragic that he's so far from his target.

One of those chilling reminders of how good life actually is.

Not all that far - Taunton's 3 days' cycle from Land's End. (speaking as someone who made Taunton from Land's End in 3 days at a reasonably leisurely pace)
