Hello CVC Members,
I am sad to report to you that one of our members, Bob Muzio was involved
in a serious accident during the Sunday Social ride. I have spoken with
several members who were on the ride with him, and my understanding is that
he was proceeding west on Agoura Road approaching Cornell Road. This
section of the road was in and out of the shadows and on a downhill
gradient. He hit some debris in the road, swerved, then he went down. He
was unconscious initially, and had obvious trauma to his face and knee. A
fellow rider immediately dialed 911 and other members attended to him until
the ambulance arrived. He went to Los Robles Trauma Center and has been in
the ICU since Sunday.
As of now, the family asked for no visitors. Going forward, I hope that
we will be able to lend support to Bob and his family.
There are undoubtedly lessons to learn from this (as from all accidents and
near misses)
With the low sun this time of year, shadows can hide road debris, potholes,
and uneven pavement.
For now, I want everyone to be aware of this, to keep Bob in your thoughts,
and to approach all road rides with respect and vigilance.
Sincerely,
Sheri/Stephen
