To celebrate Veterans Day 2025, we will organize this new populaire route that will visit various memorials dedicated to veterans. Start and finish locations are about a block from each other.

No better way to show our appreciation to the veterans who served by having Aaron, a retired US Navy veteran, to lead this ride.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
     Between the crosses, row on row,
   That mark our place; and in the sky
   The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
   Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
                          In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
   The torch; be yours to hold it high.
   If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
                            In Flanders fields.

John McCrae
