    That was a great ride, for a great cause. I think there were way more riders than what the article stated. Made some new friends and touched bases with some old ones.

    Kinda Ironic that there were so many cars honking as they went by acknowledging the "Ride Of Silence"

    The pressure for a brake-a-way was high :lol:

    Can't wait until next year.

    I have ambvilent feelings about last night... it was good to see so many of my friends out to honor those fallen on the street.... and memories of Kristy and how she would have loved to have been there riding.... we all miss her.

    Anyone find a write-up of the Irvine ride? My son was given a shout out as the youngest rider at this location (age 7)..... he had his photo taken with the eldest rider (age 69). He received many high 5s at the end of the ride from the sweepers and other riders for keeping the pace and a smile for the entire ride.

    Irvine's Ride Of Silence

    Good turnout, but not as huge as expected, wish more would come out to help raise awareness. STR had a good showing in Irvine, but lets get more out next year.
