Cycling in and around Union County, NC

With nearly a year since my little scare with heart trouble and an operation to insert 2 stents in my 95% clogged arteries, it is time for an update.
Over the last couple of weeks I was able to complete a nuclear imaging test and stress test to compliment the echocardiogram I had just six months ago. The results were exactly what I expected and perhaps a bit better than my cardiologist suspected.
Had a visit with the cardiologist Thursday morning. For the most part everything looks good. I only got a glimpse of the EKG and from what I saw nothing jumped out as glaring, but I am no expert. One more week off and then a cardiac stress test before I am officially cleared for cycling again.
I do not know this cyclist personally but I have been asked about Matt Allen several times so I thought a quick post would be in order. Please, this is all the information I know about the situation.
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.
