Gastonia, NC:  50 Riders

This was the 4th Observance of the Ride of Silence organized by the Coasters Cycling Team and the Gaston County Cyclists Club. We were
supported by the Gaston County Sheriff and the City of Gastonia Police Department, which provided squad car and motorcycle escorts.

After a brief but moving Memorial Service to honor those who have been lost and/or injured, we began from the Gaston County Courthouse.
We traveled east along Ozark/Long Avenue to Gaston Memorial Hospital.  At the hospital, we circled the Emergency Room driveway and returned
to the Courthouse via Franklin Boulevard, Gastonia's busiest street.  [The route was approximately 8 miles].

Our group included riders of all abilities. It was a beautiful evening for a ride and we all are grateful that we were able to participate.

Editor's Note:  The British are absolutely brilliant in their abilities of analysis and logic, and we applaud their effort to make the roads safer for cyclists.
