EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. — A group travelling 1,000 miles in 14 days in honor of fallen first responders will soon bike its way through El Paso County.

According to its website, the Texas Brotherhood Ride was founded in 2014 and is honor and memory of “over 500 Emergency First Responders which includes; firefighters, law enforcement officers and emergency medical personnel. Our team has traveled on bicycles over 7,700 miles, through sixteen states and assisted by countless emergency first responders who have shown the true meaning of Brotherhood.”

During the 1,000-mile trip, group members, who are also first responders, bike together, eat together, and bunk together.

The group is expected to depart from Ellicott at 7 a.m. The group will travel westbound on Highway 94. Organizers expect the group to arrive in the areas of Highway 24 and Platte (between Union and Powers Boulevard) sometime between 10 and 11 a.m.
