Was shocked to learn that the guy from the group I rode with couple of times was killed in accident this weekend. 3 other in critical condition. Head-on collision with reckless teen cager..
Rest in peace Peter Volden...

Sorry to hear about this. This is what I fear the most when traveling upstate thru winding mountain roads. Reckless teenagers driving like nuts. Rip

This is becoming an all too frequent thread posting in the last few weeks. Eyes and ears open boys, they are out to get us for sure.
RIP Mr. Volden.
