Ride of Silence/Team Chet Ride 2024 (B+, 30 miles)

 Team Chet Ride 2024

This route is a loop ride to Chet’s roadside memorial/ghost bike with only 0.2 miles on Shadeville Road.  The Woodville start should minimize parking/congestion at the North Trailhead.

Tricia Smith has asked for a ride to support Mothers Against Drunk Driving.  MADD have designated May as Florida Ride Month  to continue the campaign to change attitudes about impaired driving. This ride remembers and honors Chet Smith (Tallahassee Democrat article-Chet Smith), Jake Boykin (Tallahassee Democrat article-Jake Boykin) and all others who have needlessly lost their lives to an impaired driver while riding their bikes. They are lost to us because selfish people decided it was OK to drive when they weren’t fit to even sit behind a steering wheel.

This ride also remembers and honors local riders Steve Reker and Dave Baton and all other local cyclists who have died after being struck by a motor vehicle while riding their bikes.

We'll ride in silence from J. Lewis Hall to Wakulla Station, then continue to the Ghost Bike of Chet Smith as a tribute.

This awareness ride is open to all and donations would be appreciated.  Please note, you don’t have to “fork over money” to join in but if you’d care to support MADD’s vital on-going work, please consider joining Team Chet.

This ride frequently regroups and we will be open to altering the distance, mid-ride. Anyone who speaks up with what they need regarding speed and distance will not be dropped.
