Ride with purpose. Honor with heart.

Join riders from across Florida and beyond for a powerful day of cycling, camaraderie and community — all in support of our nation’s injured veterans and first responders. Every mile you ride helps restore hope and healing for the heroes who’ve sacrificed for our freedom. Fuel up with light refreshments before the start, then celebrate after the ride with a patriotic post-ride festival featuring a live DJ, band, lunch and more. A variety of route distances are available to suit every rider’s experience level.
 
 

Weather Update

We want to share an important update regarding weather and routes for tomorrow, Saturday, January 31, 2026.

Due to excessive projected wind speeds over the Fort De Soto Bridge, we have made the decision to remove the long route that crosses the bridge. This route will not be supported for rider safety and riders should plan to ride the medium course.

The event will still take place as scheduled. Forecasts indicate lighter winds in the morning, with stronger winds expected in the afternoon. We encourage all riders to evaluate their abilities in these conditions and plan your route choice accordingly.

 

Event Schedule - Saturday, January 31, 2026:

  • 6:30 AM – Rider Check-In & Day-of Registration

  • 8:00 AM – Opening Ceremony & National Anthem

  • 8:30 AM – Ride Start for All Courses
