About the Ride : Children of our soldiers, especially those soldiers who have been wounded or will not be coming home, make a special sacrifice that needs to be recognized.

RedWhiteandBike is dedicated to recognizing this incredible sacrifice that is too often overlooked. We do so through a special gift of a world-class bicycle for these little heroes, the young sons and daughters of our country’s Purple Heart recipients.

Kids love bikes! We provide a quality bike that has been selected by the child and customized to tell the story about the service of their parent. This gift will provide the child much pleasure while reminding others of their parent’s service and love of country; this is a very unique way to say “thanks”.

About the Ride: This is a tour you do not want to miss! Every route will have the opportunity to tame the BEAST!
All routes are more challenging than ever, can you say ”Hills?”  “Steeper?” The 67 mile route is the most changeling route that we have ever offered, so if you intend to ride this route come prepared, we wouldn’t want the Beast to seize another cyclist’s soul. Making this your first 67 miler of the year, not recommended.
