zMotion's 9/11 Memorial ride was a great success!
Joy and I took our tandem and joined 30 members of CSP Express Bicycle Club and 300 other riders for a 9/11 memorial Ride, sponsored by zMotion Racing. Despite Joy's apprehension, we decided to do the B ride, 44 mi at 18 - 22 mph. Joy did really well. The solo rides we are doing has really helped her build leg strength and stamina and endurance. I was really proud of her. As always.
On the return from the turn around from Lake Worth the B group swelled as drop outs from the A group (65 mi, 23 + mph) joined us. On the way back they pushed the pace, and after about 36 mi, although we were doing 21, the pack pulled away. We just took it easy the last 8 miles.
I want to give a shout out to the Broward and Palm Beach County Sheriff's Motorcycle patrol who provided police escort the entire ride, and made the trip safe and enjoyable.
Kudos go to zMotion Racing who sponsored and organized the ride, arranged the police escort, and provided a great buffet brunch for all the riders. It was a great event.
Pictures to follow.

Cool. I did take a short (less than 15 mi) utilitarian ride today, wearing a red shirt and riding my Team USA red-white-and-blue Schwinn mountain bike, which I bought several years ago from a San Diego firefighter.

911 is remembered over here aswell. No special events but the day is remembered and marked as a day that changed the aspect of the world.
