Fallen Rider

Almost finished sorting the photos from last week, and hope to have them online tonight. I have to travel out of town tomorrow...

You know, despite the name of the website, we're really not into morbid stuff and hate to see anyone getting hurt. (that doesn't deserve it ;) This morning I got a request to mention another fallen rider. Here's the letter:

I have rode the dragon 1 time and loved every mile of it. I saw on your website where you post things about fatalities that happen up there, however I was wondering if you could do me a favor and have everone pray for a young kid's family here in Cleveland,TN? Their son (of twenty two years old) lost his life on 7/31/05 when he was on his bike west bound on highway 64 when a truck pulled out in front of him. Cleveland paramedics tried to get him stable enough to fly him to Chattanooga but he didnt make it. Even though this young man lost his life people will still continue to push their luck and ignore bikers and their ability to stop fast enough. But back to my request, you have the potintial to get the word out for everyone to pray for this young man's family because they really need it right now. I dont know if you knew him or not but his name was Jesse E. Couch.
