2007 Ride of Silence
The iffy weather kept a few folks away, but 14 riders participated in this year's Ride of Silence paying tribute to those cyclists who have been injured or killed while riding.The group completed an enjoyable and squirrel-free 9 mile loop through downtown Frederick showing that cyclists can safely share the road with motorists.
