Join the Ride of Silence on Wednesday, May 18th at The Lakes of Thousand Oaks @ 5:30pm to honor fellow bicyclists who have been injured or killed by motorists. The Ride of Silence allows us the opportunity to help raise awareness of bicyclist’s rights to the road, and to let motorists, the public, and bicyclists know we all share the same roads. Join fellow bicyclists in solemn remembrance on a short 10 mile ride escorted by the Thousand Oaks Police on roads we all share. By taking part in the Ride of Silence, you will help educate drivers to be more vigilant when approaching cyclists on roads we share. With the recent 3 Foot law added to the books and the new focus on rider accountability this year's event will be important to help educate the general public about the large cycling community in the Conejo Valley and the surrounding area.

Please print 2 or more of the attached file to help raise awareness for this event. Place one on your refrigerator and one at a place of business, worship, local school, or library.

HELMETS MANDATORY!

All participants under the age of 18 years must be accompanied by a parent.

Special thanks to The Lakes of Thousand Oaks for use of their facilities. Hosted in conjunction with the City of Thousand Oaks

Hope to see you there,
