About 150 veterans on bicycles, handcycles and recumbents rode through Hodgenville Wednesday morning.
The group, part of the UnitedHealthcare Ride 2 Recovery Bluegrass Challenge, was met by LaRue County deputies at the LaRue/Hardin line and escorted to the Hart County line. Hodgenville officers escorted them through the city.
Several residents stood at the side of the road, waving and encouraging the cyclists. Debora Spano, spokeswoman for Ride 2 Recovery, said the community support is “phenomenal.”
