Route Map & Route Cue Sheet pdf

At 7 pm Local Time we will join other communities across the planet in having
a unique ride which will bring increased awareness to the streets of our home towns -
focusing on the numbers of cyclists who are killed and injured
by motorists who do not safely share the road.

Riders will gather at 6 & assemble about 6:30 at Irvine's Civic Center
at the flag poles in front of the Police Department
then cue up for a 7 pm slow paced, single file, silent commemoration
to the riders who are no longer with us,
especially those who were disabled or killed on the road.
Come over after work - there are facilities to change clothes for he ride.
A pack of single file - silent riders - pacing out for almost 10 miles...
we hope to share this hour with each other, 
and know thousands across the planet will also have marked the hour;
but also raise awareness among the many local motorists
who will be witnesses of our parade.
It will be a dusk ride, Sun set is at ust before 8; so wear your reflective & HiVis day glow,
& have plenty of reflectors & lights...
In case you don't know, California law changed and lights
& reflectors are required after dusk - even on bike ways and sidewalks now
.

Please wear an arm band; Black in solidarity - or Red if you have been injured by a motorist.
(Inexpensive head / wrist band sets or cut up tube socks work well...)
