On Tuesday, June 17, Sue Rudolph (BCI #5215) crashed hard on Alton at approximately mile 4.5. She suffered significant injuries that required hospitalization.
Witnesses riding behind her reported to police that the group was on a descent over the 133 fwy. After the hill, the bike lane was blocked by a large “Construction Ahead” sign. Once she cleared the sign, Sue tried to tuck back into the bike lane, but struck another rider, causing two more to fall. The other two riders were shook up but otherwise not injured.
Sue is resting at home, recovering from her multiple fractures, lacerations, and contusions.
Sue has been a BCI member since July 2023 along with sponsorship from her company, Absolutely Amazing Travel. She has created an itinerary for a bicycling trip to New Zealand in January, 2026 and would like everyone to know she expects a full recovery well before then and that the trip still has more spots open.
