According to a release from Blanchfield Army Hospital, this ride is a recovery milestone for some wounded, ill and injured Soldiers who come to the WTB for at least six months of complex medical management and rehabilitative care. This year’s ride included 33 additional miles than ever before.

The 200-mile ride made its way through LaFayette, Gracey, Hopkinsville, Pembroke, Trenton, and Oak Grove in Kentucky and Clarksville, Tennessee.
