Ride of Silence - May 20 - 7 pm
Solo or Family Neighborhood Rides

Participate in the National Ride of Silence to honor those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways in your community. We have not stood by and watched as this virus changes the world about us. With the date for the ride coming up, May 20, the Ride of Silence board has decided to change the format for this year's ride. Instead of group rides the ROS Board is recommending each site organizer encourage their participants to do solo rides or with their household members.

The course is designed for novice to intermediate adult cyclists who want to improve their bike handling skills and become more proficient riding in traffic. However, all skill levels can benefit from the skill drills and class discussions on safety, basic mechanical techniques, traffic situations, emergency procedures, tire changing techniques, and hazard avoidance. The course is fun, challenging, and full of "need to know" information to ride confidently in all traffic situations.
