Ride of Silence

Distance - 15.3 miles
Time - 1.33.03
Max speed - 24 mph

We rode out from Riverside Park and were silent the whole time. I would say there were probably 30-40 people on the ride. It was a memorial to those who have been hurt and killed while cycling. A lot of people stood and watched us go by Many didn't know what to do or say since we were so quiet. We rode downtown and around the park by the zoo and then back in a zigzag manner. It felt good to do the ride and I think the silence had a huge impact on people. Though I dare say they didn't understand what we were doing so I'm not sure about the clarity of the impact. There was a news article the next day so maybe that answered some questions.
