Upcoming tribute ride for the slain Pittsburgh police officers

It's been in the news. I have nothing to say that's anything more poignant than what you can find in other media. I'm just sad. Not that it changes things, but the officers were from the Zone 5 station in East Liberty, which also serves our neighborhood.

The Major Taylor Cycling Club and the Western Pennsylvania Wheelmen are organizing a tribute ride in remembrance of the three men who lost their lives. There is a little more info here, on the Bike Pittsburgh blog.

Saturday April 11
10 AM
Meet at the Highland Park Fountain
Riders asked to make a donation to the victim’s families

There is also a memorial service being planned on a city-wide basis. Follow the link for more info from the Post Gazette.
