Member Dave Blumenthal killed in race

Member LiMoDad wrote to tell us that Warmshowers member Dave Blumenthal died Thursday morning while racing the Tour Divide mountain bike race along the Great Divide route. Dave, of Montpelier VT, had a head on collision with a truck in Colorado. He is survived by his wife and 3 year old daughter. You may want to read one of the many fond obituaries of him all over the web, for example, http://www.rutlandherald.com/article/BT/20100625/NEWS/100629981/0/WW2.

We join Dave's family in their grief.
