MISSION: 22 VIRTUAL RIDE CHALLENGE
This is a BIGGIE!
In 2013, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs released a study that covered suicides from 1999 to 2010, which showed that roughly 22 veterans were dying by suicide every day, or one every 65 minutes. Some sources suggest that this rate may be undercounting suicides. We need to help. We'd love your support.
The challenge is to ride 22 miles per day for 22 days for a total of 484 miles.
This virtual ride challenge can also be done anywhere you like - your neighborhood, your favorite twisties, on back roads or highways; you can even clock your miles on the way back and forth from work.
Whether you’re twisting the throttle or pumping the pedals, you’ll have between July 4th and Sept. 11th to complete this Challenge in however many sessions you’d like. It’s completely up to you! Help us fight this terrible trend.
Each registrant will get a FREE 20th Anniversary t-shirt delivered to your doorstep following the event close. (allow 2 - 4 weeks delivery)
