2024 Heroes of Freedom Veterans Ride Sunday 1/28/2024
All riders will meet at On The Trail Rentals no later than 0800 on Sunday January 28th, 2024.
The ride will be an all day event and cover approximately 50 miles of groomed snowmobile trails. Riders will be assigned to a group with a trail leader and safety. There will be several stops for food, drink and photos during the ride. After the ride a dinner party will happen at Charlie’s Mexican Restaurant in Grand Lake which is being sponsored by TOBE Outerwear.
The 2023 Heroes of Freedom Veterans Ride had over 80 riders and we hope to have even more riders this year. Steve Swatlowski and Chad Doughty of the Mile Hi Snowmobile Club started the The Heroes of Freedom Veterans Snowmobile Ride in 2018. That first year there were only 6 veterans who attended. Each year since the ride has grown and we hope it will continue growing because we want to give thanks to and share the outdoors with as many veterans as possible.
*Note: Effective December 2023, this event has reached full capacity for the 2024 Veteran's Ride. Please check back next year if you want to participate in this event. We are still accepting volunteers for the event and needing to secure more snowmobiles to be donated for the day for our Veterans to ride. Please let us know if you can help. Thank you!
