Barry Posted July 1, 2024 Share Posted July 1, 2024 I got a notification on this 45 minutes after it happened. My first thought was heat exhaustion, but it was at 9AM as I understand it. Second thought was no helmet. It'll be interesting to find out why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Man Posted July 1, 2024 Share Posted July 1, 2024 Mentions "Crash" and "ATCEMS said the person died after “extensive resuscitative efforts.” Seems like possible heart attack lead to crash? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 Heart attacks are no joke. Jan. 11th was the 10 year anniversary of mine. I got REALLY lucky. A total of 3 stents and I've been good ever since. Get those checkups. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Bug Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 Update: There were two incidents on that morning. The person who crashed was pronounced dead at the scene. According to multiple posts on Facebook, the person who was transported for heat related issues also passed away. We've done a few very early morning rides. The humidity at 7:30 am is wretched. As long as there's good cloud cover and even a slight breeze, it's marginally more bearable around 9 am. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 I'm shopping around for a smart trainer. I'm glad some people can ride in this heat, but after nearly 20 years of trying different things, nothing makes riding in a Texas summer fun, let alone safe for me. no amount of hydration helps when my brain is boiling inside my skull. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still 80F but I can't do afternoon heat like I used to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
