FACE OF AMERICA BICYCLE RIDE



It’s getting to be that time again. Less than a month to go to the Face of America Bicycle Ride. Soldiers’ Angels has partnered with World T.E.A.M. (The Exceptional Athlele Matters) Sports http://www.worldteamsports.org in this wonderful event, which has able bodied riding alongside disabled bodied riders. This is a “ride” not a race. All ride together-finish together.

The ride takes place April 25 – 26 from Bethesda MD to Gettysburg PA. Covering 110 miles over 2 days, the route goes through scenic Maryland and ends in historic Gettysburg PA.

Plans are progessing wonderfully. Participants are registering on a daily basis and the ride is growing! I can not begin to tell you how exciting this event is--for both the participants and volunteers!!

Soldiers' Angels has quite a few members participating in a number of areas. Some are riding, others are volunteering, MANY are making banners of support and encouragement that will be hung at the Kick-off Dinner, the rest stops and the End of Ride Celebration.
If you would like to have an experience you won't soon forget, register to participate--whether as a rider or volunteer.
