WTB recently sponsored an event with the Semper Fi Fund in California, hosting 16 physically and/or mentally wounded veterans for a weekend of rides, shuttles, and skills coaching. WTB/Cannondale Overmountain team members Mark Weir and Jason Moeschler were among the pros sharing the stoke with this group of vets, and the whole thing went down on a private ranch whose owners were gracious enough to host the event. For more photos and details about the weekend, be sure to read this full article from WTB.
As a former service member myself, I’m stoked to see companies like WTB stepping up to help our veterans. I’ve personally known a number of vets who have taken up mountain biking as a way to cope with the transition to the civilian world, and that puts us as mountain bikers in a unique position to help. Let’s all support our troops!
Awesome first photo. Kudos to WTB for honoring the soldiers of our nation. And the highest respect and appreciation to the men who participated in this event.
