Ride With the Forty Coming Through Colorado
There’s a very special group of riders who will be coming through Colorado in about 10 days. Ride With the Forty is a ride to commemorate the heroes of Flight 93 whose airplane was hijacked on September 11, 2001, and which crashed in Pennsylvania, rather than into the terrorists’ target, due to the actions of those on board. The ride is part of an effort to “raise funds to build a permanent memorial for the Heroes of Flight 93 who so valiantly defied the terrorists that day.”
The plan is for the riders to reach Shanksville, PA, the site where the airplane crashed, where a monument has been erected, at the time at which the plane crashed, exactly 10 years before. Among those riding will be family members of some of those who died in the crash.
The Rocky Mountain HOG is making plans to meet and escort the riders across the state. They plan to meet the riders in Green River, UT, on August 31 and escort them to Glenwood Springs that day. The group will stop in Denver on September 1 for a dinner hosted by Rocky Mountain Harley-Davidson. On September 2 the group will be escorted out I-76 to the Nebraska state line. Riders who wish to continue with the group are welcome and encouraged to do so.
