Peninsula, Ohio
Contact: Mike Petcher
Distance: 12-15 miles
Notes: Century Cycles and the Medina County Bicycle Club invite all concerned riders to join us for a Ride of Silence beginning in Peninsula, Ohio on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 beginning at 7:00pm at the Lock 29 Overflow Parking Lot, just off of State Route 303.
Cyclists will ride south on Akron-Peninsula Road for 12-15 miles at a silent and slow 12 mph pace. It's a cause especially important to the crew at the Century Cycles store in Medina because a longtime customer was killed by a car while riding his bicycle in Medina county in 2007.
Helmets are required. This event is free and open to the public. No registration necessary. For more information, please call Century Cycles in Medina at 330-722-7119.
