The 5th  annual Jim Rogers Memorial Ride on Sunday  drew nearly 200 bicycle riders together to   remember the local man who in 2010 was killed on Highway 174   by a distracted driver  who was allegedly using her cell phone at the time of the accident.        Rogers’ widow, Carolyn Jones-Rogers and family friend Karen Wallack-Eisen were at the starting line when all of the bicycle riders raised their hands to take an oath.
