  Here's the rest of the information on the proposed "Ride of Silence."
   
  The purpose:   
      -- To mourn Carter LaPrade and all injured or killed cyclists
      -- To raise awareness of cycling safety in our area
      -- To spread the "Share the Road" message
         
  When: 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 16 
   
  Where:  Fletch's Fix-It, North Main Street, meet in the rear parking area.
   
  Route:    From Fletch's parking lot, go out to School Street, R on School Street to No. Main Street; R on North Main Street to Church Street (Rt. 200), L on Church Street to Good Luck Road, L on Good Luck to
  Rt. 3, L on Rt. 3 into Kilmarnock and end at Fletch's.  The route is approximately six miles long and takes in the two dangerous highways in this area, Rt 200 and Rt 3, as well as Main Street.
   
  The route is six miles and should take less than an hour.  We'll ride in silence at 12 mph with black armbands.  We'll have a few extra armbands.  Bring your own if you have one.  

     

  Email Jeff Warren at jwarren at kaballero.com if you wish to participate.  If you commit, be there, as we'll not ride with less than 12.

    To Northern Neck Cycling members: 
     
    This is from RoadBiker newsletter:
     
    ---The fifth annual Ride of Silence, a global network of group rides to honor cyclists injured or killed by motorists, will take place on May 16 at 7 p.m. (or May 19 at 10 a.m. in the southern hemisphere). The Ride of Silence was created in Dallas to honor endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz, who was killed by the driver of a school bus in 2003. More than a thousand cyclists showed up for a slow, silent 12-mile procession. The next year, riders in about 50 North American cities participated. In 2006 there were rides in more than 250 locations worldwide. If no ride is in your area, it's easy to organize one and add it to the list at http://www.rideofsilence.org/main.php 
     

    Since we had a cyclist killed last year, it seems appropriate for us to undertake a Ride of Silence in memory of that cyclist, Carter LaPrade of Weems. 
     
    Dallas had more than a thousand participants for the inaugural Sound of Silence ride;  if we can get at least a dozen commitments we'll go forward with a local Ride of Silence, as described below.  We've cleared this with Mrs. LaPrade.  Jeff Warren will do the publicity.
