We had our first-ever Ride of Silence in Victoria this evening. There wasn't much -if any- advertising about the event; I saw it here on TE and had to do a Google to find the Victoria ride. Only about a dozen riders showed up; the woman who organized the Ride spoke about the significance of the event and it's worldwide recognition for a few minutes, and off we went from City Hall for a slow 40 minute ride through downtown Victoria wearing our black armbands. Upon our return, we held a minutes' silence in memory of fallen riders everywhere. In December, we have our own local version of this Ride, but I hope this international Ride of Silence is a permanent here event too.
