Is there anyone else going or bringing thier respective riding groups? I would like to coordinate as much as possible. I plan on splitting up my team that will be going to make sure both schools have and escort. Is there an available Ride Captain?
A bit more information about this Veteran and Military Appreciation event.
Food will be available for all participants from 4:00PM until 5:30PM at the Legacy Complex.
There will be a display of Military equipment in the Legacy Stadium parking lot from 12:30PM until 3:30PM. There will be a number of vehicles, one or two EOD robots, Artillery and a Black Hawk and Chinook Helicopter.
The motorcycle escorts will depart from both participating schools at 4:15PM, so, riders need to be at the schools by 3:45PM. The distance from Grandview High School to Legacy Stadium is 3.7 miles. It is 7.4 miles from Eaglecrest High School to the Stadium. These escorts will be led by Cherry Creek School District Security vehicles. The Aurora Police Department may be involved, as well. Would you please respond to this email or post to our website if you plan to participate. Ideally, we would like to have an equal number of riders at each of the schools.
We will also form a Flag Line as the Veterans walk into the stadium following dinner and at the pre-game ceremony during the National Anthem and the tolling of the Honor Bell.
Thanks.
Jim
