Route Elevations
About the Terrain
Flat scenic ranch land, rolling hills, and some steep climbs. All but the mile routes will have views of Lake Weatherford. Bring your climbing legs and your camera.
Roads
Roads are a combination of state highways and county roads. Due to gas drilling in the area some roads have pot holes and are rough. There are a couple short sections of chip seal as well. However most of the roads are relatively smooth.
Rest Stops
The Ride for Heroes is proud of our rest stops. We have clubs and organizations from Aledo High School responsible for decorating and handing out goodies so there is no shortage of friendly faces to help you out at each stop.
Every rest stop will have the basics including oranges, bananas, water and sports drinks. Most rest stops will also feature other goodies including home made cookies, pickles, trail mix, Clif bars, etc.
All rest stops are manned by an EMT.
