ABOUT THE RIDE

Follow historical roads and live American history as you leave Washington, DC on your way to your final destination of Virginia Beach. Along the way, you will pass Mt. Vernon, the home of our Founding Father and first President George Washington, the famous civil war battlefields of Manassas (or "Bull Run" as the North called it), Fredericksburg, Mechanicsville, and the capitol of the Confederacy – Richmond, VA. As you wind your way though the heart of the Confederacy, suddenly you will find yourself in Colonial America and the settlements of Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown, stopping in the heart of the largest military bases in the U.S. The event ends with a USO sponsored VIP concert experience and community event.

This ride is a Category "C" (somewhat difficult)

PARTICIPATION
The rides will be limited to 150 participants with a minimum $4,000 fee to cover your costs. There is an active duty military or VA employee discount of 50% ($2,000 required fee). Your $80 registration will be applied to the total you raise.

Full week Challenge participants will receive a Ride 2 Recovery jersey, bib, socks, and t-shirt, as well as hotel housing, rider support, luggage transportation (70lbs max), daily route guides, marked course, rest stops, hydration and meals.
