Ride with purpose. Honor with heart.

Ride alongside cyclists from across Ohio and neighboring states for an inspiring day dedicated to honoring injured veterans and first responders. This meaningful ride brings people together through shared purpose, teamwork and the open road,  with each mile contributing to recovery, connection and renewed strength for those who have given so much. Enjoy pre-ride light refreshments to get you rolling, then stay after to celebrate with a spirited post-ride gathering featuring a DJ, lunch, beer and patriotic fun. With multiple route options available, riders of all abilities can take part in this unforgettable experience.
 
 
Weather Update

We are actively monitoring the weather and plan to ride tomorrow rain or shine. If anything changes in the morning we will share details then. Please know your abilities and plan your route accordingly. You do NOT have to ride the route you registered for, if you want to change, feel free to do so.

Route Maps
There has been a slight modification due to construction on the 37 and 72 mile routes. They are marked and the routes have been updated via the link below. The course is marked throughly, however we highly recommend you download the route(s) due to weather conditions. Plan to look for signage at all turns rather than painted arrows.
