Sobre el evento
This is the 12th Annual Ride-to-Remember!!! It has become one of the best group charity rides in New England. This bicycle ride was started to honor Springfield, MA Police Officer Kevin Ambrose who was killed in the line-of-duty saving a young mom and her daughter at a domestic call. Over the years the Ride-to-Remember has grown to represent ALL Fallen Police Officers, Firefighters and Correction Officers. This year we arte dedicating the R2R to Fallen Hartford, CT Police Officer Bobby Garten. The one year anniversary of his “end-of-watch” for Officer Garten is 09/06/2024. We will have a ceremony to honor him at the Hartford rest stop.
The first nine years of the ride we would pedal from Springfield to Boston and honor the fallen at the Massachusetts State House where the Police and Fire Fallen Memorials are located. The past few years the Ride-to-Remember has kept it local and riding amazing routes through picturesque Western Massachusetts. It's the same riding experience where all riders are escorted by over 20 police officers on motorcycles and police cars the entire way. Once you clip-in, you do not clip-out until you arrive at the rest stops. Speaking of “rest-stops”. They are the best!!! You are treated like royalty by over 100 volunteers. We feed you, hydrate you, fix your bike, fix a flat tire and even provide you with a masseuse to help you with all your aches and pains.
The Ride-to-Remember XII that will take place on 09/07/24 will be simply amazing! We are going back to our roots!! The ride will begin again at Main & Boland Way in the metro-section of downtown Springfield.
