Here is a ride that every member of VeloProject.com should consider if schedules permit. Wearing the team "kit" and riding as a tight knit group would certainly be an appropriate way to honor riders who have been injured or killed. If I am not mistaken, one rider has been killed and one seriously injured in the Greensboro this year due to collisions with cars.
Join cyclists worldwide in a silent slow-paced ride (max. 12 mph/20 kph) in honor of those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways.
8.8 mile loop starting in the Greensboro Center City Park downtown The Ride is endorsed by "Bicycling In Greensboro", a local advocacy group. We will meet at at 5:30 pm and begin the Ride at 6:30 pm. (The early start time is to accommodate those who need to ride home afterwards while still light.)
