A little later on today I will be issuing a second Press Release to the media about our
event last night. I will also be distributing photos to the police, FB and the Ride of
Silence organization. But before I do all of that I just wanted to say Thank You again
to all of you who came out to ride last night. There are several people not part of our
riding group that also attended so please feel free to pass along my thanks.
I was moved to tears last night watching all of us on the road. I felt the drivers and
citizens of Chatham-Kent were respectful and in awe watching our well dressed group of
riders. I could hear some comments as we passed and Ryan on the tandem bike and the
parents with the toddlers on the back were definitely noticed. A big round of applause to
Ryan Dubeau, our youngest rider (5) to make it the whole time without stopping on his own
bike. I sure hope his daddy had a good surprise for him when they were through!
I have some lessons learned for next year which will hopefully include even a bigger group
of riders. If anyone has any pictures, please forward them to me for inclusion in our
media package.
My sincere thanks,
Jennifer Laevens
