Bike Brighton plans five full‑moon rides; first ride set for May 1, Ride of Silence May 20
Summary
Bike Brighton reported plans for five full‑moon rides this season (7–8 miles, about 50 minutes), discussed adding a longer route, and confirmed dates: first ride May 1 and the Ride of Silence on May 20. The committee’s Feb. 19 minutes were approved 6-0.
David McWilliams, speaking for the Bike Brighton sub‑committee on March 4, said the group plans five full‑moon rides this year that typically attract casual riders, families and older participants. He described typical rides as 7–8 miles taking about 50 minutes, with past attendance ranging from about 30 to more than 70 riders and recent rides topping 50.
McWilliams said the sub‑committee is exploring ways to offer a longer, more challenging ride to appeal to experienced cyclists, possibly by sharing information at full‑moon events and routing options that could include the Front Range Trail and nearby river connections. He said the first seasonal ride is scheduled for May 1.
The committee also confirmed participation in the third annual Ride of Silence, scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, a nationwide event to honor cyclists injured or killed on roadways and to raise awareness about bike safety and shared‑road responsibilities.
Quentin Kosh moved to approve the Bike Brighton minutes from Feb. 19, 2026; Stephanie Brown seconded and the motion passed, recorded as 6-0.
