May 16th - Ride of Silence
Who's riding? We (wife and I) will be there. Our tandem will be part of the DATES lead out group with all stoker compartments vacant and stokers will be following behind on a singles.
Ride of Silence
*edit* sometimes I forget this subforum is all of Texas. I'm refering to the Dallas Ride of Silence.

I'm going to try and get out of work early, so I can make it for the ride. I come south on the path from Royal, but usually turn off at Mockingbird to head across the lake.
Anybody know if the ride will be going clockwise or counter-clockwise, (in case I don't get there before it starts, I'll have an idea of which direction to start looking for the group).

I'm not sure how I feel about this ride. I appreciate what its trying to do and the spirit in which it was conceived, but it seems to spark a lot of animosity between cyclist and the people witnessing the event. All they see are a bunch of cyclist riding slow, in the way, and not speaking when spoken to. The year I rode it there were several incidents where things were thrown at cyclists on the ride ect...

Your description makes it sound more like a critical mass ride.
