Today is an important day to remember those lost or injured while cycling as part of a World Wide event known as the Ride of Silence.
Not only is it important to honor all those no longer with us, but to show unity in the cycling community that cyclist’s lives matter.
One of my closest cycling buddies was highly affected after learning the news the one of his friends was killed last year by a hit-and-run drunk driver. It is a loss that my friend still wears every time I see him. He treats even more that life is a gift and rides to honor Shaun’s memory.
He’ll be joining the ride in Irvine, as there are many rides taking place across the Los Angeles area.
I’ll be nearby at the Rose Bowl ride which you can RSVP to here.
The event is open to all. People will start assembling at 6:15pm with the ride to take place at 7:00pm. You don’t need to get ready to race, but just show up as a sign of support.
