The following message is being distributed this afternoon by Andre Riopel, president of the Sault Cycling Club:

**************************
To all SCC club members, STAC members and friends of Jim Miller:

Arrangements are being finalized for Jim's funeral.

Visitation will take place Wednesday afternoon and evening at Arthur's Funeral Home.

The ceremony will take place on Thursday, time yet to be determined.

The family has asked that cycling friends and cycling club members lead the funeral procession by bicycle on Friday morning from the funeral home to the cemetery.

Cycling club members should wear a Sault Cycling Club jersey for this ride if possible.

If you do not have one, there are a few left at Velorution.

If you don't have one, or you are not a club member, anything you are comfortable with is appropriate.

We just would like to see a large group of cyclists at the procession.

Pace will be slow.

Time and location to be finalized.

I'm sure Jim would really appreciate this gesture.

You don't have to ride a bicycle to join the procession so please don't feel pressured to do this if you are not comfortable with this.

Also, if you have any photos, we are assembling a montage for the exposition.

Please email them to me.

If you know anyone else that would be interested, please pass this along.
