FW: A very sad Christmas...

This is from Chuck Bramwell…
I started the Steve Bowen memorial page at
http://caltriplecrown.blogspot.com/2012/12/steve-bowen-you-will-be-missed.html
and linked to it from the What’s New section at www.CalTripleCrown.com
I will add some of the memories which have been shared with me to that page soon.

Hi Chuck… That sounds great!! I can’t thank you enough!!
I will pass the word out to our groups for pictures. I will have them sent to me so I can filter through them, and you’re not inundated with emails – as if you don’t get enough!

Hi Tony,
I was so sorry to hear of this, Tony.
I shared your posting with the California Triple Crown Facebook Group ... thanks for the great photo and your nice note.
I want to build a Steve Bowen memorial page like the one for John T. Clare at
http://caltriplecrown.blogspot.com/2012/01/john-t-clare-california-triple-crown.html
and will do so real soon. Please e-mail me your favorite photos of Steve to me at cbr...@caltriplecrown.com
Take care,
Chuck

Hi Chuck & MJ…
I’m not sure who I should be sending this to, but I figured getting it out to you guys it would find the right channels. Please see the email below, and if appropriate please blast it out to the groups.
Sincerely,
Tony Musorafite

Morning everyone…
I know some might wonder why I waited to send this important information out, but I did not want to ruin anyone’s Christmas with such sad news. On Sunday, Dec 23rd, Steve Bowen was out with Marcella Piersol doing his last century of the year (he did one a month with Marcela). Somewhere around Skirball Center Marcela stopped to wait for Steve, but he never showed up. She waited a few minutes when a car pulled up next to her and asked if she was waiting for another cyclist? He told her that there was a cyclist down just back up the road a bit, and within a minute she was back with Steve with two motorists already performing CPR.
It was fortunate that one of them was a doctor who continued CPR until the paramedics arrived. They rushed him to the hospital and continued CPR for about another ½ hour, but were unable to revive him.
I was told that Steve will be buried alongside his mom in Maryland, but aside from that I have no further information.
I know some of you have already heard the news, but if anyone has any updated information please feel free to pass it along. And if any SB Wheelmen riders can pass the message along to the club it would be much appreciated. I have already informed Planet ultra, and the LA Wheelmen.
Although I am deeply saddened by the passing of our great friend and riding comrade, I find some solace in the fact that he passed doing what he loved doing best…
With heavy heart….
Tony
P.S. – attached is one of the last, if not the last picture taken of Steve on his last ride with Marcella. Hollywood sign in the back, big smile on his face, and of course his CA Triple Crown Jersey!

Memorial ride for Steve Bowen will be held on Saturday, January 5, 2013, leaving the Riviera Village in Redondo Beach promptly at 8:00 AM in lieu of the normal Donut Ride. The memorial ride will take the usual Donut course at a conversational pace and terminate atop the Switchbacks. Please share this as a status on your Facebook page.
