The "Wounded Warrior - Soldier Ride" bicycle tour will be coming through Franklin on September 24th, 2011.

This is a unique opportunity for wounded soldiers to participate on adapted bicycles to meet their needs and is now open to the public to also join the ride. The ride is at no cost to soldiers and is a fund raiser for the Wounded Warrior Project.

The Nashville event taking place on 9/24/11 will come through Franklin, TN and it will be entering Westhaven subdivision if you are looking for a great spot to make donations and take in the amazing site as the soldiers and riders are cheered on. The 15 mile marker is in Westhaven and riders start at Battle Ground Academy Campus at 9 AM so expect riders as early as 10 AM in Westhaven.

The riders will have two choices of routes a 23 mile or 57 mile route. The 23 mile route stays mostly in Franklin while the 57 mile route goes into Liepers Fork.

It is not to late to register as a rider, or to create a team. The registration is $25 and you must collect donations of at least $150 by October 24th.

I encourage you to at least donate to this worth cause to improve the lives of those that fight for our freedoms after their return from combat.
