Barry was a good friend of ours, and this has obviously come as a huge shock. His wife has asked that I post these words on her behalf:

Thank you to the riders who tried to help my darling Barry on Friday. We his friends and loved ones are devasted by this terrible loss. He loved to ride. He loved his friends and family. And he loved his life. Thank you for doing all you could. And thank you to the emergency crews who came to help. Stay safe and well out there and keep on looking after each other. With love to you all. Tash (Barry’s Wife).
