Aventura will once again welcome participants in the Wounded Warrior Soldier Ride on Thursday, January 5th as they depart from the Residence Inn by Marriott in Aventura and travel through Miami to their destination in Key West. Aventura’s City leaders, the Aventura
Police Department and multiple other police departments will be joining members of the Aventura Marketing Council/Chamber of Commerce and residents to wish them well on their journey, bringing cookies and snacks for them.
The Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) Soldier Ride® is a unique, multi-day riding event that helps warriors build their confidence and strength through shared physical activities and bonds of service in a supportive environment. The program incorporates skill-building practices that accommodate all ability levels. Warriors never ride alone; they move forward together, as a unit, just as they did during their military service.
With roots in road cycling, Soldier Ride has expanded to incorporate a variety of ride options to serve warriors. These include traditional and adaptive road biking, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, virtual events, training challenges, as well as skills development camps. In each of these events, warriors engage in activities to:
- Increase motivation, confidence, and overall riding awareness
- Discover skills and drills to improve handling and the riding experience
- Learn proper equipment care and maintenance
- Gain comfort riding in a group
- Hone proper techniques for a variety of riding terrain
- Acquire additional resources to continue riding after the event
Soldier Ride welcomes warriors of various skill and fitness levels who are interested in discovering how to ride. No Equipment is necessary and the program provides participating warriors with access to everything necessary at no cost.
