Wednesday May 16 is the Ride of Silence, which Summit Biking will participate in this year. The ride is done in silence to honor all those bicyclists who have died due to automobile accidents. Jeff Ferber is one of those listed. He was a close personal friend who died on a bike ride from Silverthorne, May 2004. Many others are listed on the memorial page on the Ride of Silence web site. If you are interested you can find the history of the ride and more information at http://www.rideofsilence.org/memoriam.php.
We will meet on Lodgepole Street in Dillon, just down from the amphitheater, where the recpath begins at 9:30. The ride will be to the west end of Frisco. We will go at a slower pace than normal and ask riders to be silent during the event. Hopefully we will never know another person on this list. Once at Jeff's bench (located where the recpath starts up to Copper) the Ride of Silence is over and you can either return or join me for a ride to Copper and around the lake.
