Memorial Bike Ride Planned for Hit-and-Run Victim

A memorial bicycle ride is being held Wednesdsay for a Valley Glen teen who was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver in March.

The silent ride for the teen, who was a senior at Grant High School, starts at 3:50 p.m., though those who plan on participating should arrive half an hour earlier.

Meet-up is at the stage area in the quad near the front of the school on Oxnard (just inside the front gates). The ride will last for about 45 minutes.
