"Ride of Silence" is to honor accident victims and promote safe cycling

Due to the current coronavirus situation, the format will be changing from an organized club ride to a "solo" ride, or group ride with riders you are comfortable with (trainer rides are also an option). Rides can start and end at the location of your choice.

1. Ride in silence
2. Remember and honor those who've been hit & killed while riding or seriously injured
3. Ride slowly (12 MPH Max) and a relatively short distance - this is not a race
4. Wear a helmet & obey road laws for bicyclists

• The intent is for everyone to begin their rides on Wednesday, May 19 at 7:00 pm, as originally scheduled. If that time does not work out, rides can be done anytime on 5/19. (5/20 will be the rain date) 

In consideration of the change in format this year, ABC is adding TWO components to make this ride more inclusive for all:

1. In lieu of our group physically getting together pre-ride, a short video with Ride Of Silence information is being provided. Click on the "Ride Of Silence Video" Button below to watch prior to your ride
   (please note the 2021 Date is 5/19/21)

2. As a way to document ROS rides for ABC, we will be tabulating data from individual rides and providing it to the National ROS group. We are asking if you could please email the following information to Bob Pike @ rapiker1@yahoo.com after your ride:
   

• Your Name
• # Miles Ridden
• Description of Ride (location, destination, etc)
• Tribute/In memory of (if applicable)

Other ideas are to take a selfie photo or 2 and use the hashtag #RideofSilence2020 and location of the event when posting their rides on social media.  Posting to the National ROS Facebook page is especially encouraged:  https://www.facebook.com/rideofsilence/
