Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I got this link the other day but can't find out how much you have to pledge(?) to ride.

Anyone have better luck?

My impression is that the riders are all recent war vets, many of them disabled. You can sponsor them with a $ donation on that website. Just saw a rather moving piece on it on cable news (Fox or CNN, can't recall which).
