I picked this story up from a fellow Varadero rider on the VCI Forum. This is what happened to him and his wife over a year ago. They both made it (just) and, believe it or not, come back to biking. I have a great deal of respect for someone like this.....grim reminder of how vulnerable we all are out there but also a great example of "resilience and strength ".....
