On Saturday, Matt Allen, 42, suffered what appeared to be a heart attack during a club supported training ride. Two riders stopped and since they could not find a pulse administered CPR until EMTs arrived at the scene.

CSC Winter Training Ride - Wrapup

February 10, 2008 in Cycling, Pictures, Rides by Bud | 2 comments

What a beautiful day for a ride. There were a few people I knew there at the ride start. A few Bee teamers, and I also ran into a few others I knew and/or have ridden with in the past. The route took you out of Harrisburg, NC from Hickory Ridge High School and headed basically in a southeasterly direction into Union County, then it makes a turn almost directly north back into Cabarrus County before turning west to the finish.
