Could be a serial drunk driver with a suspended license. In either case, hope the driver goes to jail soon. Suspending the license does not alone keep people from getting behind the wheel.

I hadn't met the victim personally, but he rode with some of the ultracyclists I know out there. I believe he was riding a 600K brevet, which means he would have been lit up like a Christmas tree with lights and reflective stuff.


This is the second case of a hit-and-run during a late-night brevet that I know of in two years; and in both cases, small-minded buffoons chime in questioning "why was the cyclist on the road at 1 AM?"

I am out on the road all the time at 1AM. I am going home. I assume the cars that pass me are doing the same?

Returning home from the bar.

Minding his own business and not hurting anyone else.
