The SFSO hopes everyone has had a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend.

Saturday was a fantastic day! We were able to honor those who sacrificed so much while spending time riding bikes and socializing with friends.

Despite facing some stormy weather during the ride, our cyclists AND volunteers persevered and were rewarded with beautiful sunshine for lunch and post ride festivities, making for a perfect end to the day. It was definitely an event to remember!

We also want to extend our gratitude to
the Special Operations Forces, the US Air Force Cycling Team, and all the veterans who joined us on Saturday. Your participation honored the spirit of the occasion.

We had an incredible turnout with over 250 riders, and thanks to everyone's generosity, we raised over $60,000 for Operation One Voice (O1V) to support wounded and fallen Special Operations Forces and their families. AMAZING!

Thanks again to Anheuser-Busch for allowing us to host our event at the Budweiser plant for our 3rd straight year!

We are grateful for our amazing SPONSORS, with a special call out to our 3 Major General's:

Eagle Rock, Wahoo, & Layer3!

📸 PHOTOS: Check out some fantastic shots from our talented photographer, Mike Adams! He has just started uploading a few pics, he will most likely have captured everyone in the event… so keep an eye on this link for updates.
