International Ride of Silence


(Please see the post from 5/4/10 for Audax 200K details)

On Wednesday, 19 May, at 7:00 PM EDT, the world-wide Ride of Silence will begin.  There will be rides all over the East coast.  They will last for an hour.  At the end of that hour, it will be 7:00 PM in the Central Time zone, and rides will begin there.  An hour later, in Rocky Mountain time zone, rides will begin.  For a period of 24 hours, the Ride of Silence will continue around the world.

These rides are in honor, memory, and support of riders who have fallen, killed or injured in traffic.  We will ride slowly, and respectfully.  We will ride for an hour.  We will keep silence and remember.

Please come out and ride.  Somewhere near you, there is a Ride of Silence.  For those of us who are close to Peachtree City, Georgia, the ride will start at City Hall, at 7:00 PM.  We will have a police escort.  We will ride at a pace of no more than 12 mph, for one hour, ending at City Hall.

Please come out and join us.
