the Ride of Silence

Wednesday May 16, 2012

Wednesday May 16, 2012 at 7:00 pm the Ride of Silence will begin in   North America and roll across the globe. Cyclists will take to the road in a silent procession to honor cyclists that have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. 

This ride also helps to raise the awareness of motorists, police, and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways.

We will gather at the entrance of the Trolley Track trail, 62^nd and Brookside, Kansas City at 6 PM. The procession will leave promptly at 7 pm. This will be a slow ride to gather attention.

PTC attending MTB events! Heck Yes!

As time goes by I see that I am gaining more interest in a full life with cycling whether on the Paved Road, Gravel, single track or just having fun on any bike. I am having a great time training and the once in a while spring race. The race season for me will be in full swing come June time through August, and then it is CX time. Yep already looking to the CX Calendar!
Next Road event will be the June 2nd. So here is what PTC has on tap for the next few months.
The 2012 season of racing will find PTC hitting a few MTB events with teammates from GO! Racing and KCBC Racing.
