My husband & I are strong supporters of the Wounder Warrior Project & the WOW Cycling Club. I just wanted to share this incredible event that WOW Cycling is doing to raise awareness & money for Wounded Warriors - Operation Float A Soldier.

I am volunteering for this event when the riders stop in our area this afternoon. One of my cycling buddies is one of the 12 chosen riders to do this event. The entire community is invited to come our for BBQ & to show their support.
