An opening ceremony will be held at the trailhead in Iola (Cofachique Park, located north of US 54 along old US 169). This will be an exciting milestone in the history of rail-trails in Kansas. Soon trail users will be able to bike or hike all the way from Ottawa through the city of Iola.

Hi all,

It's that time of year again - the KC Car Free Challenge is just around the corner, May 12th - 18th.

Your participation in last year's event, the KC Commuter Challenge was greatly appreciated. The Johnson County Bike Club Team had a pretty good showing last year despite competing with teams with two or three times as many members.  Besides, when more people park their car & ride a bike we all win.

Let's see how we can do this year.  Go to www.kcbike.info to sign up, click on the JCBC team option and recruit your cycling friends, co-worker & neighbors.

Thank You
Mark Scrivner
Team Captain

From Laurie Chipman:
63rd and Brookside, KCMO
Memorials start at 6:30, ride at 7:00. 8 mile ride silently.

Here is the Ride of Silence list of people injured or killed while riding a bike or being pedestrians. If you know of someone I left off or would like to add someone please contact me: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . In the KC Ride of Silence, we include pedestrians as they are as vulnerable as cyclists.

I need info on Chris(?) Cooper who was hit in a police pursuit in Independence. If anyone has contacts for victims' families I would like them, prefer email. I have contacted the Gaunts, Northcrafts, Osborns, Susan Brewer's sister, Tom Clough. There will be several city officials there but I'm still getting confirmations. Date, May 14, memorials start at 6:30, ride at 7:00. 8 mile ride silently. (The website says May 21 but ours is during bike week.) Thanks for your help.
