Heartless Cyclist Haters

[KSH]

*Wipes tears*

I am truly very sorry for your loss... Trek, UK and Duck. How absolutely horrible.

I wish there is more I could say... but I am at a loss for words.

That's ok, you don't have to say anything. Thanks to all here on TE, you gals have been great and it means a lot. Poor Knotted was on the phone with me when I found out and thanks hun for being there and on my first ride after. I'm going to the memorial on Saturday.

Knowing Kathy I think I can say that she wants us all to keep riding.

You're more than welcome, my dear.

Hi Trek,

The Santa Rosa Cycling Club will be having a ride of silence to the memorial. If you, or any other nearby TE'rs would like to participate let me know and I'll post the details. We've been told that cycling apparel is appropriate for the service.

Deanna,

Please post or PM me the info. If my Mom has a ride I will be there, I don't care if it snows Thanks for posting the info.

Will you be there? I was hoping to meet under better circumstances but still would be nice to meet up.

10:00 AM • Howarth Park (630 Summerfield Rd - in Eastern Santa Rosa)
A three-mile Memorial Ride of Silence will travel from Howarth Park to the Center for Spiritual Living (2075 Occidental Rd) preceding the service for Kathy Hiebel on Saturday, December 2.
This is not a recreational ride, nor is it a stage for political theater. It is our way, as cyclists, of honoring the memory of our friend Kathy.
The route: down Sonoma Avenue, around City Hall ( R on D, L on 1st) to the Prince Memorial Greenway; exit the path at Pierson, then follow 3rd and Stony Point to Occidental Road.
As much as possible, we will ride in silence and single-file or at most two-up. We will attempt to keep the group together and may regroup on the Greenway if signals have split the group. Pace will be slow: this is a procession, not a paceline.
Cycling apparel is considered appropriate for the service, but we hope to have allowed enough time for people to change out of bike clothes at the church, if they wish to do so.
Parking at the start is limited. Riding to the start is encouraged. Secure bike parking at church, courtesy of the SCBC.

Trek, Duck, & UK--my condolences for your loss. And to all of us, because it is so hard to hear that another cyclist has been fatally injured.

I've just sent a letter to the editor of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat http://www.pressdemocrat.com/services/feedback.html about Mary Callahan's article. Y'all are right, it IS overly graphic and in poor taste. So I wanted to let the SRPD know how this Coloradoan feels about articles like Callahan's.

My heart goes out to everyone who knew Kathy. She sounds like a wonderful nurse and a wonderful human being.
