Stephen Box forwarded this news from the LA Wheelmen:

"    Sadly -
    Harvey Hetland, loyal LAWheelmen member, excellent cyclist, Grand Tour rider, RAGBRAI rider, and friend of many has lost his life on a bike ride on Wednesday, 03/05/08 …

    He and his companion, Christie Edinger, were on their way home after riding up to Montrose with the Griffith Park group … They rode up to La Tuna - and on the way down, on a curve with Christie behind him, Harvey was in the lane and was passed on his right by an automobile … He was not hit by the car - but he lost control of his bike and he “went down” … The hospital personnel said “he didn’t make it” …..

    So sudden - and so sad …

    His church, Westminster Presbyterian, is planning for a memorial service for Harvey next week (626 794 7141) …

    The La Tuna Canyon homeowners group (www.latunacanyon.com) would like support for their efforts to make La Tuna safer with slower speeds and a marked bicycle lane. Your help would be appreciated by Harvey and all of his bicycling friends.

    Harvey will be missed.
    Stay safe ….."
