I need help compiling a complete list of those cyclists we will honor this Wednesday for the Ride of Silence. Here is the list I have so far. I know there are many cyclists missing. If you have info on those who should be added, please send me the info asap ans I will get it added to the list and make sure all the other Ride of Silence coordinators have the list too. I need, name, age, (killed or injured), location and a small blurb about the incident. Thanks! 2008
