Hey dudes and dudettes! If you have a passion for cycling and own a road bikey... here's something for you!
But.. if you're cash strapped and don't own a roadie (like me), get your MTB outta your house and do let me know if you're up for it.

Dear TriBuds
TriFam is participating in the annual bike event on 1st January 2007 (Public Holiday) in the name of Sylvester Ang who passed away on Christmas Eve 2004.
This is a mark of respect and remembrance to our dear member whose love for sports and especially cycling, knew no boundaries.
It is also to create awareness for drivers to be patient and keep the road safe for cyclists on the road.
Sylvester was a passionate and committed individual. Those who knew him personally would tell you that he never once missed his riding sessions with any of his different groups of sports enthusiasts and friends. With the same drive, he fought hard for his life and inspired many. His fighting spirit serves as a reminder that we should never give up on what needs to be done for the greater good of the cycling community i.e. to continue to ride safely and increase awareness on road safety.
If you would like to honour the memory of someone who shared the same passion, join us for a special ride to remember our friend, Sylvester Ang.
Your support for this event will help in many ways. The bigger the group the greater the awareness.
Thank you and we look forward to see you there.
Team TriFam
