Bay to Brooklyn ride to commemorate 9/11

The tenth anniversary of the September 11th attacks is coming up next month and Darrell Sales wanted to do something to honor the memory of the 343 fellow firefighters who lost their lives when the twin towers of the World Trade Center collapsed that day. He and his son Darrell Dean Sales, along with David Lmbardo and Fred Belligan… all firefighters in the San Francisco Bay area decided to ride their bicycles cross-country, ending up in Brooklyn on 9-11. They left Santa Clara, California earlier this week and are due to come through Florence this evening. Volunteers with Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue will meet them south of town and escort them into Florence where they’ll spend the night. Firefighters will lead them out of town, east on Highway 126 again tomorrow morning.
