MY boys have ball games and Gregg is working, but I am going to take my  bike 
and hope that I can get them situated and slip away for the ride.

TO  NORTHERN NECK CYCLING  GROUP:
 
We need a  couple of more riders for the Ride of Silence, but we definitely 
will ride Wed  at 7 p.m., meeting in the rear parking lot behind Noah's Ark at 
about  6:45.  We had a good article in the Rappahannock Record and one in the  
Echo.  We're making ourselves heard for bicycle safety.  The sun is  still 
shining brightly at 7 p.m. and our ride will be only six  miles.  It will take 
less than an hour.  Come out and help us  make a statement -- that we have a 
right to be on the roads and a right to be  safe on the roads. -- Jeff Warren
