Adrian Dudzicki, a nationally ranked squash player, was killed by a car on November 20, 2013 near Downsview Park. He was only 23 years old. The memorial ride was this morning.
The ghost bike arrives at Bloor and Spadina.
Stopped for a minute of silence at the ghost bike for Tom Samson. Already a year since he was killed.
Headed through Prospect Cemetery.
A bit of ice going around the south end of the Allen Expressway.
Joey routes us through Yorkdale Shopping Centre. It is about 9:30, and the parking lot is already full for Black Friday.
On these high speed arterial roads, there is safety in numbers. About a dozen riders toughed it out until the crash site.

Just in case you are wondering, the circles with two dots are supposed to be squash balls. We were told that many members of the national squash team are flying in today for a memorial service tomorrow.
Only about a month since the last memorial ride. 4th cyclist this year.
Thawing out at a Country Time before the ride home.
