Roll Aid Coast to the Coast – Fort Worth, TX
David Hill is organizing a 6-8 man, 7-day loaded tour traveling 450-500 miles from Naval Air Station Fort Worth, past Fort Hood, to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, then to Beeville and Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. We expect to absorb more riders along the route. We will hook up with the Wounded Warrior Project Soldier Ride in San Antonio and accompany them on their community rides to Corpus.
We’re calling our tour the Roll Aid Coast to the Coast.
The idea is to raise awareness for the Woundedwarriorproject.org Soldier Ride, which was created to provide adaptive biking equipment to severely-wounded veterans. If you haven’t heard about it, or seen the images of young men and women with 1, 2 or even 3 prostheses riding bicycles in a group, you may not know how hard it would be NOT to do something to help.
Our ride leaves Fort Worth on March 9th, and gets to Corpus on the 16th. Our route falls between US 281 and I-35 to San Antonio.
I’d like to connect with other bike clubs and shops along the route to get route advice, or have some people ride along for as far as they like. We would also really appreciate some advice on where we could camp or stay along the route.
We have a blog here, where people can offer advice or coordinate meeting up to join our tour http://soldierride.blogspot.com/
