Shawn Harrison Celebration of Life Ride

[Judy Frankel]

Hello all,

This Friday will be  Shawn's Memorial Service, which i believe will be on the base... the time and location has not been confirmed as of yet, but expect to know shortly, and will forward it on...

To catch anyone up that missed the first e-mail, Shawn Harrison was fatally hit by a pick up truck this past Saturday while on a training ride at W.
Lilac and 395.  The vehicle failed to stop while traveling east on W. Lilac, as Shawn traveled north on 395.

Please join us this Saturday morning, June 16th to celebrate Shawn's life and enjoy one of his favorite activities... cycling.

The will be two options for the ride, one leaving from Carlsbad and the
other from Bonsall near San Luis Rey Downs.     We will all climb West Lilac
to 395, which is the corner of the incident.  We plan to erect a road side tribute and have a moment of silence.  Chris Harrison, Shawn?s wife and
other friends and family will also join us here.     From there, please
enjoy your ride back home or ride on to complete your workout.

Whether you knew Shawn or not, and would like celebrate his life with us, we?d appreciate you joining us.

Some of you may know his wife, Chris.  She is a tri-athelete who often rides with Pete Penseyres' group.  There is a memorial for US Marine Shawn Harrison this Friday at the Camp Pendleton Chapel at 10:00 as well  as his Celebration Ride on Saturday.  I hope that NCCC members will show your support any way that you can. I encourage you to attend the Chapel services and/or the ride on Saturday.
