2021 Cycle Across Illinois-Team Decatur

I will be riding in the 17th Annual Cycle Across Illinois benefiting Illinois Concerns Of Police Survivors (IL COPS).  The ride will take place Thursday, July 15 – Sunday July 18, 2021 and cover over 340 miles.

The Cycle Across Illinois bicycle ride recognizes and honors the extraordinary contributions of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. In 2020 several officers lost their lives due to different causes. The committee decided to honor the officers whose names will be going onto the National Police Memorial Wall in Washington DC.
