The sad news came this morning that Rey Bernal died of a motorcycle accident on July 25th - returning home from work.
Although he wasn't a member of NYCC, I am certain that some members would recognize him or know him from Central Park as a speed skater or Nyack as a cyclist. He recently participated in the Greenwood Lake 200K on July 12th.
I have placed a photo and wake info at www.njrandonneurs.com.

Facts
I attended the wake on Monday evening and spoke with a friend.
He was riding his motorcycle from Unilever, his work. A drunk driver ran a stop sign and hit him. I believe he died instantly. The driver of the van left the scene and now faces manslaughter, leaving scene and drunk driving. A witness followed the van and reported to the police.
A recent photo is posted on my site: www.njrandonneurs.com.
