Big news! We have routes set for all 2024 Liberty Rides! The Declaration of Independence Relay started early in Hawaii in April with a Ride to Remember the Sacrifices Made for Freedom at Peral Harbor arriving in California in time for the nationwide kick off of the 2024 Liberty Ride the first Sunday of May, Ride for Liberty for All day! Liberty Riders will carry the Constitution with them to Alaska later this summer at a pace of 1000 miles a day and this year we are set to relay across all 50 states! Kicking off nationwide on May 5, we will end in Washington D.C. mid-September. We continue looking to build up our relay teams in every state so fill your tank and get this summer’s tires on — we’re ready to ride and want you to ride along.
From Hawaii the Declaration will be shipped to SoCal in time for International Female Ride Day and then shortly after IFRD it will begin its trek across the country heading for DC and arriving May 25 then head to Delaware to begin its tour of the original 13 Colonies throughout the summer. Leg 19 of the Declaration will connect and unite with leg 19 of the Constitution in South Carolina mid to late August before traveling together for the final legs to DC.
The Constitution is set to kick off in NYC on Ride for Liberty for All Day with its first transfer at Liberty Park to Pennsylvania riders before heading westward to the Northwest and on to Alaska. Returning cross country to the southeast to join the Declaration in South Carolina mid-August, set to finish the journey to DC united with the Declaration either (September 14) the weekend before Constitution day or during Constitution/Citizenship week (Sept 17 – 23).
Before that final trek to DC however . Labor Day Weekend we will give a special salute to all hard-working men and women by handing off the United D/C documents to one of our Veteran Road Captains, soon to retire and the embodiment of hard work. Join us this labor day as we salute the hard-working men and women who built, maintain, and sustain the American way of life , paying special tribute to the workers rights that protect them.
The Bill of Rights has already begun moving up the Florida Panhandle transferring at Daytona Beach and then Grateful Gainesville on its way to pay honor to civil rights heroes in Birmingham with the next stop Black Wall Street in Tulsa. Similarly, the Emancipation will kick off in AZ with it’s first transfer from Phoenix to Flagstaff Free Thinkers et al heading for New Mexico and Colorado before heading to Black Wall Street in May also. Legs 8 of both the Bill of Rights and Emancipation will then transfer at Black Wall Street May 18 in the Greenwood District of Tulsa Ok . They will not unite there however, as they will meet again later in the Summer, uniting at the National Biker Round Up then traveling the final legs from Springfield to DC together.
From Black Wall Street the EP will head to celebrate Juneteenth in TX then follow parts of the Civil Rights trail over the summer, while the Bill of Rights will leave the Greenwood District with a recent Teacher of the year, heading back to school as a lesson in civics for her students in St Louis on May 20. A few weeks later it will be carried along the John Brown Freedom trail heading for the Midwest Ride for Liberty Rally. It is noteworthy that the June Midwest Ride for Liberty Rally is intended to pay our respect to the brave men and women who risked everything for freedom, both their own and that of others. All those making the journey to Iowa in June will have ridden roads to get there that either follow a similar route or at least take them through some of the same areas the Underground Railroad once led so many to freedom. 2024 is going to be a great year
Even if you cant join one of the Relay legs, You can still participate, mark your calendars for Ride for Liberty for All Day, the first Sunday of every May.
Here is a snapshot of this year’s Path based on the Road Captains signed up. 2024 will be our best year yet!
