SRSO Proud Supporter of The Warrior Ride
The Warrior Ride® is a North Carolina based organization. Its Mission: To rehabilitate Combat Injured Service Members through Adaptive Cycling.
The Florida ride named “Tour de Sunshine” made its debut ride this past week, February 24-27, 2016. Combat Injured Service Members traveled as far as Virginia, Kentucky and North Carolina, Kissimmee Florida. There were 9 local riders from our area.
The Warrior Ride® is also about community awareness; Educating both the young and old as riders visit local elementary schools, middle schools, Fire Stations and local community businesses.
The Unique format – they ride as fast as the slowest rider – allows combat injured service members to build confidence and gives them the willingness to complete nearly 100 miles over a 3 day period. Riders develop team building skills as they help other riders overcome obstacles such as riding long distances and riding up steep hills or bridges.
