Not sure what you are asking or telling us about in your OP.
We have a yearly local ride of silence for riders killed in our area recent and remote. The ride is minimalist, organic and rides very slowly through town. We only speak the names of those lost at the start of the ride.

Great post when you have more clarity as to who it benefits, what the ride is, what donations you are looking for, in other words more info. All we have are generalizations

ROS benefits
They may choose to help families of victims, expand their operation, raise their national profile I will leave it up to them-with some gentle suggestions.We are already talking about it, when we need more--riders, donations, etc. I will let you all know Tenative specifics: 7-8 day ride in Montana or Pacific Nortwest Full sag $1000 dollar fundraising minimum per rider Likely cap ride at 100 Families of victims ride for free I have some industry connections, but welcome more participation. In 2006 and 2009--Big Fix and Wheels North--we had Sachs help Also in 2006--Bell Helmets, Jonny Kendziera, Phil Wood, Hutchinson tires,Surly, ClifBar, Cytomax, Kogswell Cycles, and Velocity rims. They all donated product--either to ride, as raffle items, or as incentive prizes for riders who raised a lot of $$-like first to 1k, 2k All I ask now is to spread the word Even tho ride is 2 years away, this is a Big Ride--to honor our fellow cyclists who died, and their families I know this community will help immensely Dennis and Fixed Gear gallery folks were huge in both rides This won't be purely fixed gear, or Silent except for first 5" of each day Thanks to all PM if you want to help, or have suggestions Mojo |

Our ride here in Davis has grown
From 30 2 years ago, to 90 this year I think finding 100 riders in U.S. to commit Should be easy Thanks for response |
