Justice for Veterans with Every Mile
The 2026 routes will be posted by May 1, 2026 and will be available on both the STRAVA and Ride with GPS.
The 2026 Ride for Our Vets will feature four routes that will travel around Fairfield County, with the longer routes extending into the Bedford, New York area. All of our routes are reviewed carefully by a combination of CVLC staff and professional volunteers to ensure safety and enjoyment for our Riders. If you have any questions about our Routes or come across information that might create a challenge for this year’s event, please contact our Ride team at ride@ctveteranslegal.org.
PLEASE NOTE that until Ride Day, CVLC may make adjustments to the routes as necessary to ensure the safety of riders. Mileage for each route is calculated via odometer in a vehicle, which will always differ from a bike mileage reader, and doesn’t include additional riding such as into and out of rest stops, so your final mileage may be slightly higher or lower than the listed distance.

Rider Safety: Rest Stops and Ride Marhalls
To ensure safety, health and well-being of our Riders, we have designated rest stops along our longer routes that will offer bathrooms, snack items, and water refill. We will also have a first aid kit and easy bike support like a tire pump. Each location will be marked with a sign and 7-foot Ride for Our Vets flag.
Our rest stops will be managed by volunteers with staff support. If you’re interested in volunteering at a Ride for Our Vets rest stop, please click here.
Rest stop locations will be announced by June 1, 2026.
In addition to our Rest Stops, The Ride for Our Vets will also include volunteer Ride Marshalls who will help Riders navigate our various routes and provide basic bike support as needed. There will be at least one Ride Marshall on all of our Routes and you will be able to easily recognize them by their yellow “Marshall” vests. Each Ride Marshall will be equipped with a basic repair kit, tire tubes, and some other repair items, as well as the ability to contact our Ride staff if a Rider’s bike breaks down and needs a pick-up.
