Ride-to-Remember - 25th Anniversary 911 Memorial Ride - Springfield, MA to Hartford, CT 75-mile Loop
About the Event
Experience the 15th edition of the Ride-to-Remember as it embarks on its journey to honor the heroes of the September 11, 2001 tragedy. This year marks the 25th anniversary since that fateful day, and the ride will pay tribute by stopping at three significant memorials along the route. The adventure begins in downtown Springfield from Main & Boland Way, where a ceremonial escort by 35 police officers on motorcycles sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. Throughout the journey, you'll travel as part of one large peloton, ensuring continuous support and camaraderie among participants until reaching rest stops. The first official stop is at the New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks, CT, where a special 9/11 theme awaits. Three scenic rest stops are strategically placed along the 75-mile route through picturesque New England landscapes. Each stop offers bike mechanics for quick repairs and ensures that you're well-fed with breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided to keep your energy levels high throughout the ride. Post-ride celebrations await at Tower Square in downtown Springfield, featuring a headline band and facilities including steam rooms and saunas right on site. For those who need recovery during or after the event, licensed masseuses will be available at rest stops. You'll also have access to a complimentary official Ride-to-Remember bicycle jersey that you can order soon. From free parking to bike support, delicious food, hydration stations, and an awe-inspiring route, every detail is meticulously planned for your comfort and enjoyment. This year's event promises not only a physical challenge but also a deeply moving tribute to those who lost their lives on September 11th.
