Event Info: This ride will be broken down into 6 legs each consisting of between 23 and 40 miles. The total ride will be approximately 200 miles in length and will be completed in 1 day.
One of the focal points of this ride is that we will be honoring Law Enforcement Officer from each region of the ride by naming that “Leg” of the ride after an officer through a nomination process. A representative of that family will be issued a gold pocket watch with the State of Missouri seal on it and the honoree’s name and E.O.W. (End Of Watch) date on it (if deceased). The name and date of the event will also be inscribed on the back of the watch. There will be one nominee honored for the overall event. In addition to the Gold watch representative of that family will be awarded with a plaque that will allow for the display of the watch.
