Terrible, you don't expect to hear of deaths in areas like this. RIP.

Tragic news

Condolences to the family

Very shocking. Deepest condolences to the young woman's family.

My condolences to her friends and family.

very sad news.

my thoughts and prayers are with the rider, her family and friends.

I'm in Bedford but hadn't heard of this. Awful news. Want to know more as it says she was with "other members of a cycling club" and that road's in the middle of nowhere so first thoughts are frustrated driver etc. Will see.

She was a member of a Cambridge club and out on their clubrun.

RIP.

Ride in peace.

I have a few more details as this is my old club. The young lady's name is Orla, she had only been with Cambridge CC since last year. She was indeed out on a club run with I think 8 others, she was at the back and either touched a wheel or hit something in the road, tragically she fell into the path of a car and died instantly. My mate Jan said that the others on the ride were very badly shocked and he thought the club would "take a long time to get over this". Her boyfriend was with her and the air ambulance arrived quickly but nothing could be done. Her parents have flown over from Ireland.
My thoughts are with them and also the club members on that ride. RIP Orla

So sad :(

What a tragic waste.

That's tragic, my condolences

Very sad to hear of this, my condolences to her family & friends.

very sad news.

i am thinking and praying for all of you.

So sad, condolences go out to everyone involved. Ride carefully out there everyone.

So so sad and so horrible for all involved.

I had only found about their club a month or so ago, and was going to join them to try a club run for the first time this Sunday,, would have been last week but had a show to go to.

Feels kind of odd to go now.

So sad to here this. Thoughts go out to nearest and dearest.

-TA- , I get what you mean, but go join, it's good to be involved in a club.

Going to give it a few weeks, but will.

I also organise the Cambridge fixed gear rides, my worst nightmare if this was to happen.
