    Still in Montana. Saw lots of cyclists doing extreme terrain. More later.

    Saw the following while browsing this a.m. for the first time in days. A drunk American killing Mexican racers? What a tragedy. Really criminal. Hope they throw the book at him. And in Mexico, that's some book!

    You are right Dave. Hope they throw the book at him. Terrible. A scary picture is posted on CNN.com

    Keep us posted about your trip. Wish we were there with you.

    Well, it is truly a horrendous site. I guess they need to figure out which nationality he is before they start throwing the book at him. Got to figure out which book to throw. If he is an American, by the standards here he will probably get off pretty easy. If he is Mexican, he may or may not get to spend life in prison.

    Don't know when I have ever seen a photo like that. Tragic indeed. :sad9:
