We will plan to host one meeting per week leading up to this year's ROS on May 20. We will need to do an inventory and assess the condition of current ghost bikes, since our route typically passes several. No route has yet been determined. Please attend the meeting this week (see Tom A.K.'s comment below for details) if you would like to provide input and help with scouting possible routes. Thanks!

 Has there been any planning besides merchandise? Any idea which spots are going to be visited this year? Not much time left.

The DEADLINE FOR JERSEY AND CAP ORDERS to get merchandise in time for the 2014 Ride of Silence is the end of TODAY, Monday, May 5!
http://mtborah.com/team-store/ride-of-silence/

Top 3 reasons to buy RoS merchandise...
1. Support the RoS! Proceeds from sales benefit the RoS
2. Be Safer! Brighter and more vibrant jersey design with reflective back pockets
3. RoS jerseys and caps allow us to spread the word year around -- wear your jersey and/or cap year round to spread the word!
 

For the Chicago Ride of Silence... we want to know : Would you purchase a cap the "night of" if we order a few?
Please let us know!

A ghost bike was immediately installed for Hector Avalos, who was killed the night of December 7:
