Soldier Ride brings Wounded Warriors from the region and across the country together for a long weekend focused on physical health and wellness, camaraderie and healing. Events include a bike fitting where warriors are fit with adaptive equipment, and two days of rides. During the ride, WWP provides state-of-the-art cycling equipment to Wounded Warriors at no cost, which includes adaptive hand cycles, trikes and bicycles to accommodate various injuries and disabilities, as well as unmodified road bikes for riders not requiring adaptive equipment.

"Military personnel were some of GEICO's first customers when the company was founded in 1936, and we are proud to continue to support the men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country through Wounded Warrior Project's Soldier Ride," said Michael Baker, GEICO director of military marketing.
