2nd March 2013 sunday ride and visiting the accident site

On 25th Feb, a young army boy was a victim of a hit and run. More on the sad incident here 
We were all praying that he would recover slowly but it was not to be. I watched the video done by his school mates and my heart ached.  I don't know him personally but really felt that this shouldn't have happened. This is life. Gone in a flash.
With this sad incident, I deliberated with some of my friends if we should continue the Sunday ride(planned earlier) which would take us near the accident spot.  I was really feeling very bad about the whole thing...
The team conclusion was that we should and to stop at the bike accident spot. Offer a minute of silence.  As we stood there observing a min of silence.... I pray that the driver would have the courage to come out and admit his wrong doing. A son is killed and his mum is still grieving.
To the driver, if you are reading this. Don't make a wrong decision again.
To other fellow cyclists, if you want to go and observe a min of silence. The accident site is Loyang road (off Selerang Camp) - Lamp post 11-12
