I had the privilege of riding with David Blumenthal during the 2010 Tour Divide Race. Tragically, 10 days into the race, he collided with a car and, later, died from his injuries. I attended Dave’s memorial in Vermont and met his wife, four-year-old daughter, and family. I was blown away by the hundreds of people who attended his memorial, many sharing stories of how Dave had touched their lives.<\/p>\n
Dave’s wife asked me to write a letter to their daughter. She wanted me to share stories about\u00a0 my time with Dave. When their daughter turns 16, she will receive my letter along with letters from other friends and family. The goal is to help her understand who her father was.<\/p>\n
Dave’s death shocked the Tour Divide community. I know that others would be interested in hearing stories about Dave, so I’ve posted my letter below. It was also included in latest edition of The Cordillera V3<\/a>.<\/p>\n
