Richie's hero dies

http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/1011/gatelys.html

In all the time I've known Richie, both climbing and biking he's always admired Stephen and whenever he had doubts he always asked himself " what would Stephen do on this situation"

Go easy on him this week as he will be a bit down

That explains a lot about his mood today, he said he had a sore throat but I reckon he was choked up with emotion..

its true..
when i'm sliding sideways across a big slippy rock towards impending death and destruction..the first thing i think of is, "how would Stephen cope with this ?!"
Poor ****er, I don't think he ever did anybody any harm. Theres definitely a few other *******s the world would be a better place without.
