I'm so sorry I couldn't make it tonight. I took a nasty spill yesterday and just got out of the hopital this afternoon. Thanks for all you do.

The Ride of Silence is a free event for participants but unfortunately NOT a zero cost event to run. For anyone participating who would like to make a donation, please seek out the organizer for your local event and help out in any way you can. Rest assured it will be appreciated.

joannes fabrics by western and Fullerton for fabric, also, what about thrift stores? I'm sure you'll find a red shirt for a buck that can be sacrificed

No idea about the red armbands... fabric store remnants?

Please print out fliers (double-sided) and distribute to passing motorists and pedestrians when they ask what the ride is all about. Remember, we ride in silence, so these handouts are a great tool!

Also -- we need one pedicabber to ride with our Ride of Silence banner!

And -- any non-riders with a camera? You can help by taking photos of ride. Contact me if you're interested -- via Chainlink or directly at rideofsilence.chicago@gmail.com

Gary... that's awesome. I've asked for similar proclamations (from our mayor, governor and several senators) in support of the Chicago Ride and all state-wide Rides of Silence to be issued. We'll see what happens.

The Village of Arlington Heights has issued a proclamation in support of the Ride of Silence. See the proclamation on my page http://www.thechainlink.org/profile/GaryGilbert

Have you heard the latest? According to national event organizers:

"A quick look shows we're currently at 262 rides, in 16 countries, with more locations to be put up. I’ve said this many times, but, I am truly amazed at its growth. I never imagined it nor did anyone else back in 2003. I will continue to say this because it should humble all of us where we started and where this ride is today."

As Gary wrote in a message to a few cycling clubs and I'll reiterate here: "I challenge each one of you to participate. Make this ride a personal contribution to the cycling world."

Together we will ride in silence. Let the silence roar.
