There is a memorial planned for Thursday night and a memorial ride planned for Saturday. Details found at the memorial websites for Matt and Kristy.
In trying to make sense of my teammate's death, please consider making a difference in our world by making a donation or volunteering for bicycling advocacy in your area. Together, we can change the world, one baby-step at a time.
Stay safe out there everyone - get out and ride.
A memorial service for Matt Peterson will be held at 7:00pm on Thursday, March 13 at Sports Basement, 1590 Bryant Street in San Francisco. Everyone is welcome to attend - please pass the word along!

Matt - you are our ROCK -
An Old Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Matt Peterson - 1978 - 2008
