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
