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
