My friend Will died this morning. People from Connecticut might have heard about his accident, a new WRX flipped in Durham two weeks ago, and Will was in the passenger seat. He was in a coma since then and his family took him off life support last night.
He was a riding buddy of mine, and we going to do the Vernon 2 Vernon century, funny enough originally schedule for this weekend.
I remember when I first met him: I was working a huge insurance company in Middletown, and I hated most of the people I worked with. Someone mentioned the intern who just moved near me like bikes, and I was like, whatever. Soon enough, we start having lunch every day and riding together.
About 2 months before met me, he had just put together a new hardtail, which was a lesson on how not to do it: Nashbar frame, a new Judy fork, prebuilt wheels from China, and his shop had all kinds of issues installing the wrong sized parts. I used to joke how he made a huge mistake meeting me 2 months too late. I was going to get him a new Superlight to replace that turd.
Anyway, I don't mean to bring my problems up. I am still trying to figure out about flying back to Connecticut.
Thanks.
