| Notes: | We have not stood by and watched as this virus changed the world about us. With the date for the International Ride of Silence scheduled for May 19, the board has decided to change the format for this year's ride. Instead of one mass group Ride of Silence this year, we are encouraging Muskegon Ride of Silence participants to gather with friends during the week of May 16th in groups of not more than ten to honor those who have died or been injured while bicycling. There is a ghost bike in the bike rack at the clock tower at Muskegon Farmers Market. Our route is listed below, and you will see route markings painted on the street. Please ride by anytime throughout the week of May 16th, and stop for a moment of silence and to take a selfie. Then, post your picture and your thoughts on your personal FB page and to Roll On Muskegon. Please use #rideofsilence2021. "Alone we are but a whisper, together we shall speak loudly through a Silence that will resonate around the world" The more riders, the greater the motorist awareness. The greater the awareness, the fewer injuries and deaths to cyclists around the world.
