The 14th annual Kansas City Ride of Silence (now in its eighteenth year internationally) begins in Brookside:

Date:                    Wednesday May 20, 2020

Meet Time:          6:30 p.m. for 6:45 brief ceremony

Ride Info:            6-miles, 7:00 p.m. to about 8:00 p.m.

 

We will ride in a slow, silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. 

Cycling Kansas City (CyclingKC.org) is organizing this 14th annual Kansas City ride.  Over 75 bicyclists have been killed in the Kansas City area.  The Kansas City ride will honor those and other bicyclists.


Participants of all abilities are invited to join the procession.  The 6-mile ride will average about 10 mph.  The names of those who lost their lives while riding their bicycles will be read during a brief ceremony followed by ride protocol, safety instructions, and the ride.  The ride will start at 7:00 p.m., the same local start time around the world.  The ride will return to Brookside around 8:00 p.m.


Please do not part in Cosentino's Market lot.  Use public parking or ride to the start.
