Follow-up Planning Meeting
Monday, May 24, at 7:30pm
REI in Lincoln Park
On the heels of the 2010 Ride of Silence, I invite you to a post-ride meeting to follow-up on last night's Ride - what worked, what still needs work, how can we improve (get more riders?, get more red armbands?, get candles to set out at the ghost bikes?, etc), thoughts on the post-ride gathering.
We will meet at 7:30pm this upcoming Monday, May 24, at 7:30pm at the REI in Lincoln Park. All are welcome to attend.
Thank you for making this year's Chicago Ride of Silence so inspiring.

Evanston Bike Club Ride of Silence
From Chandler - Lights Required

EBC will be participating in the 2010 Ride of Silence. The purpose of this ride is to raise awareness for road safety and to serve as a memorial to riders who have been injured or killed on the roads. We will ride in silence (other than the usual safety calls such as "car up" etc) for about 10-12 miles or about one hour. This ride will proceed at a slow pace and will loop back toward Evanston or Skokie where we will then open our mouths and discuss the ride over dinner. Think of this as a meaningful entree into our warm weather Thursday night social rides. I would like to have an open forum, like a Quaker meeting, before we ride. We will then ride in silence. It will likely be dark by the time we finish riding and will certainly be dark after dinner. Accordingly, lights are required.
