Ride of Silence
May 21^st - Nashville, TN

On May 21, 2008, at 7:00 PM, the Ride of Silence will begin in North America and roll across the globe. Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.

7:00 PM Meet at LP Field, home of the Tennessee Titans. The ride will start from the parking lot where the NashvilleCyclist.com bike races will be taking place. There is plenty of parking in the lots, but be cautious of the coned off race course. Visit NashvilleCyclist.com for more details.  View the route here.
