REHAB THROUGH CYCLING

Soldier Ride is a unique four-day cycling opportunity for Wounded Warriors to use cycling and the bonds of service to overcome physical, mental, or emotional wounds. The rides are exhilarating and a great way to help warriors gain confidence and realize you can do this!

WWP would like to thank the police and fire departments, local restaurants, and the regional communities that play a key role in making each 2012 Soldier Ride a success in the following communities: Miami & Key West, Tampa, Jacksonville, Washington, DC, Chicago, New York, Seattle, North Fork, Phoenix, Nashville, San Antonio, and Landstuhl, Germany. 

What if I’m injured? Warriors of all ability levels can cycle on Soldier Ride. State-of-the-art adaptive hand cycles, trikes, and bicycles to accomodate warriors with various injuries and disabilities, as well as, unmodified road bikes for riders not requiring adaptive equipment are provided free of charge. 

How will my time on Soldier Ride be spent? Below is a sample schedule of what each ride has to offer.

• Day One - Arrival day, warrior bike-fitting, and lunch. In the evening, you will have the opportunity to meet and greet fellow warriors on the ride.

• Day Two - Hop on board for the short program ride where you will have a chance to test out your bike while getting to know fellow warriors and Soldier Ride team members.

• Day Three - This is the granddaddy of them all - the long program ride. Cycle through a 25-mile or 50-mile course lined by cheering locals.

• Day Four - Departure day.

I’m a Wounded Warrior, how do I apply?Visit WWP Accounts at accounts.woundedwarriorproject.org to complete the Soldier Ride application. Once your application has been submitted, a Soldier Ride recruiter will be in contact with you about your attendance at an upcoming ride. Please keep in mind:

• Soldier Ride is typically a 4-day commitment
• Completing an application does not guarantee your attendance on a Soldier Ride. It simply lets the Soldier Ride recruiter know you would like to attend a Soldier Ride event.
