“Helping” Veteran’s Day Mission:
Our 3rd Annual Bike Ride is this Veteran's Day, Monday, November 11th. Most Americans say “HAPPY VETERANS DAY”, but do little more than that to honor the service of the men and women who served. A day off from work could mean a little fishing, beach time, mowing, sitting on the couch, or whatever one chooses to do, but most activities do little to thank the Veterans who provide the freedoms we enjoy in this great Country. Come be a part of making a difference and having the BEST and MOST MEANINGFUL BIKE RIDE of your life.
Join us for a post-ride Veteran’s salute ceremony and cookout party starting at 11:30 am. Even if you don't ride, support our Vets by showing up for the ceremony and festivities OR volunteer to help the event run smoothly.
How can we make our Veteran’s Day matter? By completing a mission that results in not only personal gratification, but also assists Veterans by making them feel appreciated and combating the depression and stress that follows deployments. The average warrior that defends America’s freedoms are usually too proud to ask for help. This mission will deliver the help they desperately need in front of them, and there is no better way to honor these warriors than by contributing your time, sweat, and dare I say possibly blood and tears, to their success in life. By participating in this bike ride, you will get a memorable and scenic bike ride with some Veterans and other All-American cyclists AND make a HUGE difference in the lives of so many Veterans returning from almost 20 years of ongoing war, and those who have fought in past wars and conflicts to secure our freedoms.
Please sign up as a volunteer to help hand out water and snacks, clean up, or whatever you’re best at doing.

Independence Day Weekend Salute to our Veterans FESTIVAL July 7, 2019
The festival was a great success. Many veterans came and brought their families to enjoy the free food, free t-shirt and hat, plus the entertainment. We had a good turnout and lots of fun. There were raffles, silent auction, steaks, chicken, pork, corn on cob, entertainment, massage therapists and more. The venue at Coconut Cove was beautiful with perfect weather. We hope to do this again next year to honor our veterans. Our volunteers and everyone who made this possible were outstanding.
