You may find updates here from time to time as I have time to find out more information. The Conejo Valley Cyclists have a blurb on this event at their website as well. About the organizer: Mike Nosco is the brother of ride and auction organizer Jack, who was killed after being hit by a car while on a ride. This annual memorial ride is Jack's way to commemorate his brother's life. Andreas is the son of Roy and Debbie Knickman. The first annual Memorial Ride, held last year, also benefited Andreas Knickman; a recent relapse in his recovery convinced Mr. Nosco to again dedicate the ride to Andreas for this second year.
The Conejo Valley Guide has a story here.
Well, it is now Wednesday morning at 9:30, and I am sitting in my cubicle having, obviously, not made the ride. A pat on the back to everyone who did. A key component of "community" is an active group of people who support one another. If anyone needed evidence of the existence of a "cycling community" in Southern California, they need look no further than events like this. I will continue to post links as I find them.
Update (early Thursday): no links yet, but early report estimates that upwards of 275 people made it out to show that they care and support the Knickman family.
Dave Zabriskie has posted up a little recap which you can read here.
Road Bike Action also has a nice write-up with photos which you can read here.
Road magazines coverage is here. Again, some terrific photos.
