I was very sad to hear that a fellow cyclist, "Audrey" Kimberly Yeong Sil Hull, was killed by a truck near the University of Minnesota on Thursday, April 21st.

I first found out about the fatality when I got a phone call from someone that wanted to make sure I was not the victim, because I matched a description that they gave in one report, before they had released Audrey's name. A very sobering moment.

Our community is small, and tragedies like this hit us hard.  Even if you did not know Audrey- she is one of us!  Let's take this opportunity to get together and mourn and process and celebrate the life of our fellow cyclist.
