Event date: 
Sat, 11/06/2021 - 6:30am

Ride: 2021 DAV Ride (Disabled American Veterans)

STAGING LOCATION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW!

Description:

Weather Pending: Saturday, November 6th - We will begin the day by staging at the Shell station located right off I-71/Fields Ertel-Mason Montgomery exit at 9791 S, Mason Montgomery Rd, Mason, OH 45040 at 6:30am and then leave at 7am for a short ride down to the DAV 5k Run located in downtown Cincinnati. We’ve done this in the past and it’s a great feeling to join up with other bikers from around the tri-state and lead the walkers and runners as the take-off on the 5K. We roll thru the DAV route and park at the end of it and cheer on the attendees. Afterwards, we’ll join others for lunch at one of the local restaurants that the DAV committee has partnered with to have lunch. On a sidenote: In years past, it’s been very cold. You will have to dress accordingly!!
