On Friday May 17, over 50 riders participated in the Kelly Boe Memorial Bike Ride to honor all those killed or injured in bicycle accidents. We finally got a sunny afternoon for the event!
Thank you to MiddSafeRoutes for sponsoring the event and providing road assistance during the ride. Thanks to the Middlebury Police Department and Addison County Sheriff for keeping the riders safe on the course — your support and presence each year brings comfort to all the riders and demonstrates what a special law enforcement team we have in Addison County. Thank you to MUHS for allowing us to start from school grounds and to Superintendent Peter Burrows for leading the ride and setting a good example for cyclists by his enthusiasm for riding.
Finally, thanks to all the riders, many of whom have attended every ride. I feel such a warm camaraderie during this ride. A special shout-out to the MUHS girls’ lacrosse team for taking a day off from practice each year to participate and show support for my family.
