It seems there is a Ride of Silence here in Victoria too. I assume one can just show up and participate? I've sent an email to the ride organizer here; I hope to join the Ride this evening too.

Popoki... yup, just go join in...
I'm riding here in San Diego at 7PM as well... the ride here leaves from the corner of India St at Washington St...There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

Reports on your rides
I am was not able to be part of a Ride of Silence today due to work commitments. How did it go for those of you who rode? Please share your stories- maybe on a Ride of Silence report. TREK 420- I know you're out there riding soon- maybe you could start a new thread.
