Commemorate anniversary of 9/11 at Soldier Ride

HEIDELBERG, Germany ― Military community members in Europe interested in commemorating the 10th anniversary of 9/11 while also supporting wounded warriors are invited to participate in a Community Soldier Ride at the Bostalsee Lake.

Soldier Ride is a Wounded Warrior Project initiative that provides rehabilitative cycling opportunities to help our newest generation of wounded warriors restore their physical and emotional well-being. Fifty wounded warriors from the European theater will be participating in a three-day Soldier Ride that allows them to continue to rebuild their confidence and strength in a supportive environment. This ride is being supported by the European Regional Medical Command’s Warrior Transition Battalion-Europe.

The Bostalsee Lake is approximately 20 kilometers from Baumholder. Registration and packet pick-up opens at 7:30 a.m. at the Freizeitzentrum Bostalsee, followed by an opening ceremony at 9 a.m. The ride begins at 9:30 with a choice of a 4-mile or 18-mile route, followed by a closing ceremony and a community picnic at
11:45 a.m.

Event coordinators are asking community members to register for free online at www.soldierride.org/germany  in order for them to determine the size of the crowd.
