All participants receive a customizable online fundraising page on our Ride website to support their fundraising efforts.
On Ride Day, meet us at Half Full Brewery Third Place as we kick-off the day with some pre-ride hospitality before you head out. specially designed routes include rest stops, clear signage, and Ride Marshall support. Upon returning to our finish line, join us for our Post-Ride Celebration to refuel and connect with friends new-and-old. The Post-Ride Celebration features craft beers from Half Full Brewery and Athletic Brewery, food items, and music!
Remote Riders can join the community by tracking their activity within our Strava Group, sharing photos and tuning into the festivities online.

Your Ride Impact
One hundred percent of the funds raised by Riders and Fundraisers fund our work of providing free legal services for low-income Veterans across Connecticut.
Though we do not have a fundraising minimum, we encourage everyone to raise as much money as possible. Our hope is you will consider committing to the challenge of raising at least $350. Every dollar you raise helps secure $21 in benefits to Connecticut’s Veterans—securing housing, healthcare, benefits, and justice for all who served.
YOU can make a difference for Veterans with every mile you ride and dollar you raise!
