On Tuesday, April 4th, more than 225 veterans arrived in Georgetown after completing a tough bicycle ride from San Marcos. This leg of travel was the second leg, which started April 2nd, concluded April 8th after four additional legs. Ride 2 Recovery is sponsored by Project Hero. This program has helped more than 10,000 Veterans and First Responders through cycling-based programs and other events since 2008. Project Hero participants record elimination of and decreases in use of prescription drugs of as much as 65 percent, greater injury recovery rates, improved sleep habits and overall improvement in daily life functions. Georgetown’s American Legion Post 174 assisted in the offload of luggage for the riders.
