This is such a tragic loss! That is a dangerous road in a car and I cannot imagine on a bike. My prayers are with Kelby and his friends and family. I am the mother of the daughter that was suppose to be riding with him that day but had declined the invitation. They were very close and she is taking his death very hard. Rest in peace sweetheart.
