Just found out that the British Olympic hopeful Lewis Balycky has been tragically killed in a road accident while training just miles from his front door.
Read the full story here.
It’s never nice to hear about accidents, whether they are critical or fatal.
My thought are with the Balycky family.
I live near where it happened… I’ve ridden that road a couple of times… it’s such a horrible road, cars do tear arse it round there because the roads are well out the way and quiet plus with it being a 50mph road aswell, it’s always a bit sketchy at the best of times.
Just brings it home knowing it can happen to anyone really.
