Global Ride of Silence

[Jiffer]

Anyone else doing a "Ride of Silence" tomorrow night? (Wednesday, 8/20)

It's a ride done in silence by cyclists around the world in honor of those who have been injured or killed while cycling. It also brings awareness to the presence of cyclists on the road.

Our club is doing a 10 mile ride, single file at a 10-12 pace. I don't know if this is typical with other rides.

The hardest part for me will be keeping my mouth shut for that long! I'm thinking about bringing duct tape.

Central Arkansas riders will gather at the south foot of the Big Dam Bridge this evening and ride at 7:00 p.m. Not a long distance (it's maybe 4 miles or so) nor a lot of visibility, but we're riding. Quietly, but we're riding.

I'm doing it in VB. We are also doing the slow pace and I think it will be around 5-6 miles.

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Thanks to supporting bike shops, clubs, sponsors and anonymous donor, will be handing out 175 free Share the Road / Ride of Silence T-Shirts in Grand Rapids MI, 50 in Spring Lake MI, 40 in Traverse City MI and 25 in Holland MI.

I had planned on riding in my local one (Tucson, AZ) but an opportunity to pick up a shift at work tonight came up. I'm trying to convince my BF to still go without me, but he's not keen on going alone. I feel sort of guilty that I won't be there, but I really can't justify passing up work right now.

I hope the rides all have a good turnout.
