Memorial Day, 2026 The Journey Begins
Freedom Ride 250: A Journey Across America’s Heart and Soul
In 2026, America will mark its 250th birthday—the Semiquincentennial. To honor this milestone, Freedom Ride 250 will set out on an unforgettable adventure: a 3,000-mile cycling journey across the United States along the Great American Rail Trail. Launching Memorial Day weekend, this project is more than a test of endurance—it’s a celebration of history, people, and the wide-open road that binds us together.
Adventure cycling and bikepacking are experiencing explosive growth, with millions of riders seeking not just miles, but meaning. Freedom Ride 250 taps into that spirit, blending raw, immersive footage with stories that matter. From drone sweeps over vast landscapes to unscripted conversations with small-town locals, veterans, and trail advocates, every mile will reveal another layer of America—its challenges, triumphs, and character.
What sets this ride apart is its storytelling. Viewers won’t just watch the ride; they’ll help shape it. Real-time maps will track progress and invite audiences to suggest detours and hidden gems. Weekly themed episodes will bring fresh perspectives—from trail town spotlights to on-the-road gear hacks and reflections on history. With humor, honesty, and humanity, the ride will unfold as a living story of America at 250.
Beyond the videos, the project expands into newsletters, music, behind-the-scenes content, and interactive campaigns—offering something for cyclists, patriots, adventurers, and storytellers alike.
At its core, Freedom Ride 250 is a tribute to a nation still writing its story—mile by mile, town by town, voice by voice.
