Subject: GA Peeps - 2nd annual Tony Serrano Memorial Ride! I am not sure if folks have heard of or remember the incident, but Tony Serrano was struck 2 years ago by a car less than a mile from my house in Suwanee/Duluth. He was in the right hand that continued straight through the the intersection and was struck by a car turning into the right hand turn lane. It killed him and injured the guy he was riding with.
The police botched the accident report - citing that Tony should have been in the right hand turn lane. (Still unknown as to whether the police finally rectified the report ).
The race is being done in his memory + to provide for the education of bicycling laws to police officers throughout the state.
I did not know Tony, but remember the incident and thinking that this guy who lives in the suburbs with his wife and kids, this guy who got off his rear to get back into shape (he was training for IM Wisconsin ) could very well have been me.
--- so that is why this ride grabbed my attention.
Anyone else planning on doing it?
