Ride of Silence

Tomorrow, Wednesday May 19th, is Ride of Silence Day all across the world. Join up with other cyclists to honour the memories of those who have been killed while riding their bikes. The Chicago ride starts in Daley Plaza at 6.30pm, and will visit the ghost bikes for Liza Whitacre, Clint Miceli, Blanca Ocasio, Mandy Annis, Jepson Livingston, and Tyler Fabeck. Read this story for motivation, and be safe out there.

Austin to Houston Ride

I would love to do this! Details here.

Rapha in Richmond

In the coming days, you are going to be seeing so many reasons why you should be heading to RVA for NAHBS. There really is no excuse not to go- and as if you don't already have enough reasons, here's another: Rapha, who will be exhibiting their 2010 collection at NAHBS, is host a Gentleman's Ride on Sunday morning with the help of Carytown Bicycle Company. Should be a great way to check out some of the Richmond riding.
Here's the details from Rapha:

GENTLEMEN'S RIDE
We also invite you to join us on the Sunday morning of the show where a group of us including Rapha Continental riders, framebuilders and partners will take an easy Gentlemen's Ride through the Richmond hills with the help of the folks at Carytown Bicycle Company.

We will depart from the show hotel (Richmond Marriott, 500 East Broad Street) at 7:30am. Meet us at 7:00am for coffee and pastries.

7am might be a bit early for this guy (especially if the party Saturday night goes as planned- more on that soon!), but I'm sure it'll be great if you can make it out!

Hopefully one day, that'll be me...

Brooklyn's direct connect to Milan (and my once-upon-a-time loftmate) Camilla has a couple of rad pictures from Eroica 2009 up on her Flickr.



So cool- I'd love to see some more!

Seen here.
