Ride of Silence

The Mount Laurel Ride of Silence is ON today - 5:15PM

NOAA radar shows clear skies, some isolated rain, and wind.

I will update this site if there are any changes.  I will be on site at Shop-Rite by 6:15PM and unless it's actively raining or lightening, we will ride. We can shorten the ride very easily depending on the group.  This is a memorial ride, not a training ride and I would like as many people as possible to participate.

Below is information on the Ride of Silence scheduled for Wednesday, May 21, 2008. 
We will meet in the far corner of the Shop Rite Shopping Center at the intersection of Elbo Lane and Union Mill Road.
The ride cue sheet and map are below or click here.  There is one hill (Mount Laurel Hill) on the route, otherwise it is flat.

Depending on the size of the group, we may split into two or more groups for safety. 
You are encouraged to wear a black arm band in memory of those killed or injured on a bicycle. 

Weather looks like it will be nice on Wednesday, we will ride as long as it is not actively raining at 7PM. 
Helmets are required for this ride.
Pace will be held to 12 mph.
I can configure a shorter route for less experienced or slower riders.

Ignore weather forecasts, they don't know what's going on anyway.
The only forecast I trust is NOAA.

Ride is on unless its actively raining with puddles on the road at the start time for the ride.
No one will be dropped.  Pace will be held.
