[trip]

I found out about Chuck "txcwdancer" Burt at lunch today. I've been wrestling with it all day. I didn't want to say anything on KawaNOW until I knew the family was notified. Chuck and I have ridden together on many trips. Chuck was a fellow rider, a staff member here on KawaNOW and a good friend.

When we found out about it, we weren't sure it was Chuck, but after several Austin Texas VROC members made some phone calls, we finally came to the realization that it was indeed Chuck. I've been in a funk all day long over this. My prayers go out to his family.

Chuck was within 20 miles of getting home on a trip to Idaho and Oregon.

Here are a couple of links to news reports of the accident:

I ask that all KawaNOW members and everyone that knew Chuck remember him and his family in their prayers.

Rest in peace, Chuck.

PS. As soon as I know the time and place for the funeral, I will pass it along.
