Erie PA to Annapolis MD 500 miles!

RideAcross

America

We’re a bunch of “old goats” CYCLING around the country to raise funds for Veteran causes.

The US Naval Academy Class of 1983 started cycling across the country, raising funds to support other veterans that need our help. We modeled this effort models for following classes - and for all we meet on the journey - the power of the moral, mental and physical mission of the US Naval Academy. Our goal is to build class camaraderie for our 40th reunion this fall, give back to those who given so much, get more fit and make new friends while having a lot of fun along the way!

BUT WHY STOP THERE - WHY NOT CONTINUE TO RIDE EVERY YEAR!!

So we ride again - going from Erie PA on October 8th, 2026 and arriving in Annapolis MD on October 18 2026

Who are those old guys in tights?
