I'm saddened by this and my thought's are with you. Be strong my friend.

My deepest condolences to both you and Eilidh's friends and family.

I read this thread at lunchtime today and can't stop thinking about it.
I also don't know you Giles but, my thoughts are with you.

I think I find this hard to believe because I don't want to believe it could happen to me, despite all the near misses. You can be sure that I'll be thinking of Eilidh and Velcro.

terrible news, sincerest condolences to you velcro

this is really really terrible, my deepest sympathies velcro.

Deepest sympathies to you and Eilidh's family and friends.
My thoughts are with you.

velcro, big hug to you and Eilidh's freinds and family.

This has made me deeply sad- Velcro, I cannot begin to imagine how you are feeling.

You have my sincerest sympathies.

oh my goodness . My thoughts are with you all x x

Only just read this thread. Velcro, I'm absolutely gutted for you. My thoughts are with you, Eilidh's family and those close to both of you. Stay strong.

Giles, I'm so sorry... That's awful... I wanna give you a hug... x

Such sad news
My thoughts are with you Velcro and Eilidh's family

Truly tragic news, my sincerest condolences.

Rest in Peace, Eilidh.

Awful News. Thoughts going out to all affected.

Velcro...Words cannot express my sadness that i feel for you and your lady's family. Cyclists belong to a collective family and when one of us dies in pursuit of our two wheel journeys be they slow or fast...then we have all lost someone dear to us.....even if never met them......So be strong and try to take courage in knowledge that you are not alone......I wish you long life...Shalom

Was not ok. Eilidh is dead:(

Like many here I don't know you mate, and I know words can surely not describe the pain you are suffering inside, so I will just say hugs and love man, my deepest condolences, and RIP Elidh.

Terrible. My thoughts are with all of you.

Todo se va en la vida, amigos.
Se va o perece.

Se va la mano que te induce.
Se va o perece.

Se va la rosa que desates.
También la boca que te bese.

El agua, la sombra y el vaso.
Se va o perece.

Pasó la hora de las espigas.
El sol, ahora, convalece.

Su lengua tibia me rodea.
También me dice: —Te parece.

La mariposa volotea,
revolotea,
y desaparece.

Really sad to hear your loss. Eilidh Rest in Peace.

I just started reading this thread on my lunch break and I started crying. Seriously.

My thoughts are with you

Just sat down to look over the forum for today. This blew me away...

Velcro, My sincerest condolences are with you and Eilidh's family.

+1 crazyjames - that is exactly what I was thinking

+1 to all the above. I've had 2 deaths to mourn this week, and it hurt so much at times I could hardly breathe.

I hope it won't be long before you can focus on happy memories of the departed.

I've not been on the forum long but everybody i have met have been some of the nicest people i have ever met - i have felt a real sense of community and unity where where people are considerate and generous and kind - I'm sure Eilidh was such a person although we never met i consider her part of our community and it could have been any of us - like many people i am finding it hard to get this out of my mind today - we are all deeply saddened - our thoughts are with you x
