Since 2012 The Ride for Our Vets has taken our Riders across the State of Connecticut, with routes that have explored Connecticut rural bike trails and the beautiful Connecticut coastline and has raised more than $1 million over the last decade to provide free legal services to low-income Veterans throughout our state.
Open to cyclists of all levels, from novice to advanced—The Ride for Our Vets features routes designed to highlight the stunning topography of our state. Our routes will challenge you to raise funds and have fun while doing it!
Will you ride with us to help us beat our past success and raise at least $160,000 to provide life-saving legal services for Connecticut Veterans?
For the 2026 Ride for Our Vets, we are excited to return to Half Full Brewery’s Third Place location just outside of downtown Stamford, Connecticut. Join us and ride for charity and then enjoy our Post-Ride Celebration with delicious food and fabulous craft brews!
Registration for this year’s Ride is open now….register to Ride here and get started today!
