I just emailed a cycling blogger in Alaska... but how cool would it be to have an RoS registered to take place in all 50 states! Spread the word - Let the Silence Roar!

EA and I received an email this morning from Chris Phelan - the founder of the Ride of Silence. The 2010 ride is now planned for 21 countries on 7 continents: Antarctica, Aruba Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Columbia, Cyprus, Ecuador, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, St Kitts-Nevis, Sweden, USA.
It is planned for 47 states and here is where we need your help. Do you know anyone who lives in: Alaska, Montana, or Wyoming? Can you talk/email them and convince them to do a Ride of Silence and post it on the www.rideofsilence.org website? thanks.

The 2010 ride route is being finalized. I can tell you that the route officially ends at Liza Whitacre's bike at Damen and Wellington. From there, riders are invited to a post-ride gathering being hosted at Lillstreet Art Center across the street from the 1,000 Ghost Bikes Monument at 4401 N. Ravenswood.
Stay tuned... We will be looking for volunteers to organize a ride back to the starting location for riders who need to get back to the downtown area. The Art Center is close to public transportation and bike routes.

One fact to keep in mind - this Ride is for all riders EVERYWHERE!
I just heard from a rider who participated in the Chicago RoS last year. His Dad died when hit by a motorist; he and his mother and a group of people attended the Chicago Ride of Silence. Someone in the ride told his mother she didn't belong there because her husband wasn't killed in Chicago. So he said he doesn't know if they will attend this year.
Please let's welcome every rider on this Ride. In Unity. We're honoring ALL fallen riders.
