WHY DOES THIS ORGANIZATION EXIST?

• To HONOR those who have been injured or killed
• To RAISE AWARENESS that we are here
• To ask that we all SHARE THE ROAD

THE RIDE OF SILENCE WILL NOT BE QUIET

On May 17, 2017 at 7:00 PM, the Ride of Silence will traverse and unite the globe as nothing before it. Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn’t aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.

In 2003, Chris Phelan organized the first Ride of Silence in Dallas after endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz was hit by the mirror of a passing bus and was killed.

The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent during the ride. There are no registration fees. The ride, which is held during National Bike Month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for and honor the lives of those who have been killed or injured.

Please check the resources on this site. If there is a Ride of Silence in your area, we encourage you to join them. If there is not a ride planned in your area, please consider adding your city to the ever-growing list of sites. To get information on how to organize and host a Ride of Silence, please click here; you might also want to look at our FAQ.

The necessary expenses the Ride of Silence has to incur are met by supportive volunteers and donations.

SWIM with the bear…BIKE with the eagle…RUN with the rabbit…

Mountains to Main Street is back for year number 2, and it will be awesome!  Swim in the ultra-pure waters of Lake Keowee in Seneca, SC, bike along the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and run a net downhill run along the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail with a finish line overlooking the Reedy River and Reedy Falls in award-winning downtown Greenville, SC.  Sounds like a dream doesn’t it?  Well, year number one saw that dream come true and you can experience it again on Sunday May 21, 2017 as the Half Iron Distance returns to Downtown Greenville.  We can’t wait to show you everything the Upstate has to offer!

A Half Marathon event will also accompany the triathlon and will be a point to point affair from Travelers Rest into downtown utilizing the same run course as the triathlon.  Learn more about the Half Marathon HERE.

The inaugural Breaking the Cycle…Of Child Homelessness benefit ride is scheduled for May 21, 2017, beginning and ending at Cycle Haus in Simpsonville, SC. The event is scheduled for 1:00 PM-5:00 PM with riders having completed their on-site registration no later than Noon.

The 2017 Breaking the Cycle ride is a 30-mile family friendly event presented by A Hand Up Foundation. A ride designed with riders of all skill levels in mind, this benefit will raise funds to establish/support evidence-based programs in South Carolina which fight the cycle of homelessness for children and their families. The funds raised will help to establish programs to provide housing, educational assistance, counseling, job skills training/development, raising awareness through the documentary film “The Hidden Homeless”, to name a few examples.

Over three million children nationwide, along with their families, need our help and this is a fun way to make a difference by raising much needed funds for much needed programs.

There is no minimum donation required to participate and the first 150 riders will receive a free T-Shirt commemorating the inaugural event. Musical entertainment, food, drinks, and an extra special raffle will all be part of the festivities.

So, grab your team, your friends, coworkers, family, and anyone else you can think of, raise some money to help put a stop to child homelessness.
