CARLYLE — Approximately 12 cyclists from different police agencies throughout Illinois rode through Carlyle Wednesday morning on their way to Chicago.

The group started its journey in Metropolis. Every year they make this trek in honor of fallen police officers from the previous year.

During their short stop in Carlyle, they made a dedication to Marion County Sheriff’s Office fallen Officer Adam Conrad.

MCSO has extended its thanks to these men and women for their time and dedication to honoring fallen officers and wishes them safe travels.
