Andrew Runciman Memorial Ride details - happens TOMORROW NIGHT.

As most of you know one of our fellow cyclists was killed in a hit-and-run collision over the past weekend. In the days that have followed there've been news reports, "please be kind to cyclist" signs, ghost bikes put out and removed, and a lot of talk amongst cyclists on what to do, how to feel, what helmets to buy.

Well, a couple people are doing something more in the form of organizing a big memorial ride. Leslie, Keith, Robin and the rest of the crew have been pulling this one together over the past couple days, and are rightly trying to involve the entirety of Austin's cycling community as a cyclists death at the hands of a motorist is an event that affects all of us. Here are the details of the ride and ghost bike dedication:
