Reference to what the ride is about can be located at rideofsilence.org

It isn't a organized ride. This is a normal ride that is done in complete silence to remember the fallen bicycle riders in our area as well as the riders in the USA and the world. (also the survivors of accidents who are still riding).

The starting point will be , Start at Marina Jack's parking lot, north on U.S.41 to University Parkway, right on University Parkway. Split off to the right onto DeSoto Road, and then right onto U.S. 301. South to Fruitville Road and turn right onto Fruitville. Take that over to U.S. 41 and then south back into Marina Jacks's Parking Lot. This produces an approximately 9-mile route.

Riders should show up at least 15 minutes early, if possible, to be issued black or red armbands and to be given instructions on how to use arm signals instead of talking. Please bring sometype of red or black armband because I haven't any source to get these items.
