What Is The Ride Of Silence About
On May 21, 2008, at [6:00 PM], the Ride of Silence? will begin in North America and roll across the globe. Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn’t aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.
I got that righe off of the official website which can be found at rideofsilence.org
The ride in Sedalia, MO will be leaving from the Katy Trail trail head behind the Missouri State Fairgrounds just off Clarendon Road.
Everyone needs to get their by 6:00 p.m. (5:30 if you can) so we can get everyone organized and on the road.
Please tell everyone about this and really spread the word. If you are not in the Sedalia Missouri area please go to the official website and find a ride in your area. http://www.rideofsilence.org
Please come join us and bring your friends and family along too.

What an amazing effort. From Monday morning to Monday afternoon the Sedalia “Ride of Silence” is all but complete. It just goes to show that when people put their collective heads (and hearts)together anything can happen. A big thank you goes out to Greg Moore for bringing light to the ride and putting forth the effort to organize the community resources and riders. Another thank you to the Sedalia Police Dep, Inter-State Studios (print work) Sedalia Democrat, Sedalia News Journal, KDRO and KSDL radio stations.
