[NMCycling] Crash this weekend

[Earl via Bike-racers]

Stephen, I'm so sorry you and Nathan had to go through this. This has been happening way, way too often recently here in ABQ. What's it going to take for drivers to understand it's not okay to hit and kill cyclists? We have just as much of a right to be on the roads as they do. I don't plan on ever racing a road bike again because I've gotten way too afraid to ride and race my bike on the road like I used to, after my accident which very nearly took my life.. I will always love the bike though. Lots of prayers to you and Nathan, praying for a full and complete recovery. If I can be of any help, let me know.

Nathan took the full force of the hit. He flew about 50 ft before hitting the ground. He is in a coma at UNMH, and has been that way since he hit the ground.
