I have horrible news. Tihs morning Jessica (also known as PurpleFeet) was killed in a motorcycle crash during a group ride.

Nobody saw exactly what happened, but she had come up over a hill and there were cows all in the middle of the road. She lost control and crashed, sustaining severe head injuries even though she was wearing a helmet. I came up on her probably 30 seconds after it happened and she was already unconscious. We were later told that she was killed almost instantly and that she didn't suffer or likely even know what happened.

She was a good rider and she was a good friend. I can't think of anyone who deserved this less than her. She was a model example of a 'good person'. She was caring and considerate and kind to everyone.

She was so excited about her track day 2 weeks ago and was looking forward to another this Tuesday. She loved riding and I loved riding with her.

We'll be organizing an informal memorial for all of her friends, details will come along later.

Jessica, baby, Rest in Peace.
