Memorial Ride for Jim Chu

Last week on Tuesday, May 19, a van hit bicyclist Jim Chu, who was having a lunchtime ride along Orchard Street south of I-84 in Boise.  Jim died two days later as a result of severe traumatic brain injury.  He was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

Jim's funeral will be held on Friday, May 29, at 1:00 p.m.  Services are at the Cathdral of the Rockies, located at 11th and Washington near downtown Boise.  Burial will occur at the Dry Creek Cemetary.

The family wants bicyclists to lead the funeral procession partway from the church to the cemetary, and they hope for a large turnout.  There is no requirement that you attend the funeral service itself, but the family welcomes all who wish to come inside.  If you are available and want to join just the ride, please arrive at the Cathedral of the Rockies around 1:45 p.m. on Friday.  The procession will stage on 11th Street, and will be fully escorted once underway.

I hope that you can join us on Friday, and please accept my apologies if you receive this message more than once.
