Marathon mountain biking racing is bad for one's health, maybe? Sadly,
this mtn.bike race comes ripping through my locale on Sunday, June
28th.

A BC Bike Race Champion and Great Guy Down

Brian Johnson was on a mountain bike ride last week - the regular
“Wednesday night ride” in Invermere, BC - and, sadly, did not make it
home.[]

It was his last ride.

Drew Bragg, one of Brian's good friends in Invermere, and one of the
BC Bike Race family as our MC and voice of BCBR, phoned me last
Thursday to tell me the sad news.

The guys on the regular Wednesday night ride, a very tight group of
guys in a smallish town in the East Kootenays who've been getting
together every week for many years, found Brian on the ground beside
his bike, apparently in the process of fixing his chain. They are not
sure what caused his death.
