'Bad things happen fast, good things happen slow'

On Saturday, May 11, Clark — an avid cyclist and member of the local Cool Breeze Trek Bikes Race Team — was participating in the Virginia Capital Trail Foundation's Cap2Cap Ride between Richmond and Williamsburg. Clark was pedaling north along Route 106 when a tractor trailer cab attempted to pass, swerved back into the northbound lane to avoid oncoming traffic and struck Clark and his friend, Will Bagby of Richmond. The truck kept going, but in an instant, Clark's life was changed.
