🏍 The route has now been confirmed for the ride to The Elysium Memorial on Sunday at The National Memorial Arboretum. The Memorial, dedicated to veterans who have lost their lives to su***de:

5 DAYS TO GO 🖤

This Sunday, after weeks of planning, stressing, changing things and probably driving everyone around us slightly mad, No One Rides Alone is actually happening.

And the closer it gets, the more real the reason behind it feels.

On Sunday morning, Coopers Square will start filling with bikes. People will be travelling from all over to stand together for people most of us never even knew.

For those who served and didn’t make it home from the battles they fought afterwards. For the families left behind. And for those who are still struggling now.

When we leave Burton, we want the roar of those bikes to represent the voices that should have been heard before it was too late.

That’s what Sunday is about.

So, 6 days to go.

Show us your rides 🏍️

NO ONE RIDES ALONE
