Why make a post hinting about rumors? Why create concern then not tell us what we should be concerned about?

Reed used the term "god speed" The term means good luck, or good fortune on your journey, but people here, for some reason, use the term in place of rest in peace. ??

Kevin Williams has just made this annoucenment

Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is with great regret that we announce the passig of one of our own Andrew MacFarlane.
Andrew's family has asked that the riders continue their da. Following a riders meeting we have decided to ride 3 laps in each class out of respect for Andrew and his family.
