2012 Gulf Coast Challenge Ride 2 Recovery presented by UnitedHealthCare

Ride 2 Recovery is coming to the Gulf Coast. This bicycle fitness challenge produced by the Fitness Challenge Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, is designed to help improve the health and wellness of wounded warriors by providing a life changing experience that can impact their lives forever.

Come out and participate in the ride of a lifetime, while helping our nation’s wounded warriors. Beginning in New Orleans, LA the Gulf Coast Challenge will take you along the historic Gulf of Mexico all the way to Panama City, FL before taking a left hand turn to the Apalachicola National Forest and on to the State Capitol of Tallahassee. The last day will feature a tour of the Capitol City with state officials scheduled to take part in the ride. Whether you ride for one day, or multiple days, the Gulf Coast Challenge will be worth the ride.

There is a $50 registration fee which includes a one-day ride, t-shirt, giveaways, course refreshments, ride support, and lunch. You will need to arrange your own transportation back to the start.

If you’re interested in participating in the Gulf Coast Challenge, contact Jaime Magarity via email at jaime_magarity@uhc.com or by phone at 954.378.0606. You may also visit the Ride 2 Recovery website at www.ride2recovery.com/gulf-coast-challenge.

A little bit about Ride 2 Recovery:
Ride 2 Recovery supports Spinning® Recovery Labs and outdoor cycling programs at Military and VA locations around the U.S. helping injured veterans overcome the obstacles they face.
Cycling is an important part of the recovery and rehabilitation program for two reasons:
1.)    Cycling is an activity that almost all patients with metal and physical disabilities can participate.
2.)    Participation in the Ride 2 Recovery Program helps speed up the recovery and rehabilitation process.
