In its first year, Ride Indiana will span five days and cover nearly 500 miles, according to Wish for our Heroes. The trek through Indiana began in Warsaw, Ind., and will end Sept. 21 at Indianapolis’s Monument Circle.
The team will pass through Bloomington on Friday, arriving from Lafayette around 3 p.m., according to the Wish for Our Heroes website.
Riders will leave the next morning at 8:30 a.m. to cover 77.5 miles from Bloomington to Columbus, Ind.
Proceeds raised from the journey will contribute to Wish for Our Heroes, a Noblesville, Ind.-based charity whose goal is to help 500 Hoosier military families with the money, according to the group’s website.
The charity has formed a national partnership with the Kroger Co., this year’s title sponsor, and will be supported by local businesses along the way.
Today from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Nick’s English Hut will donate 10 percent of all sales to the charity, according to the release.
