Hello again everyone! This is the 10 year anniversary of the Ground Zero Independence Ride. It's hard to believe that ten years have passed since the first Ground Zero Independence Ride was created to honor the rescue workers who helped recover the site at Ground Zero. The ride has evolved in many ways and has become a major end-of- summer event that simply should not be missed!

This year we are proud to present the legendary band the "The Outlaws" along with last years favorites Lex Grey and the Urban Pioneers, Cole Fonseca, Dan Lawson, John Sheehan, and much more!

Riders meet near Ground Zero on Church Street, between Liberty and Vesey Streets. The route travels from ground zero up the West Side Highway, over the George Washington Bridge, up the scenic Palisades Parkway to Krucker’s Grove in Pomona, NY. The grove is in Rockland County, surrounded by the beautiful Ramapo Mountains. All riders will benefit from a Police escort throughout the 42-mile ride.

Once at Krucker’s, the festivities begin with a fun-filled, family-friendly barbeque and blues festival. Enjoy all you can eat American BBQ, beer, swimming pool, nearby lake, and all day live music.
 
       
 This year your donations will  support ANDERSON HOUSE and HOPE FOR THE WARRIORS. The mission of Hope For The Warriors is to enhance quality of life for US Service Members and their families nationwide who have been adversely affected by injuries or death in the line of duty. 

            This year’s event will have more entertainment and more fun then ever before so don’t forget to SAVE THE DATE! Saturday, Sept. 17, 2011. We look forward to seeing you all again!

Just a reminder: You don't have to participate in the ride to enjoy the festivities at Krucker's. There is plenty of free parking for cars and you can register on the website or at Ground Zero or at Kruckers. Click here for driving directions to Kruckers Grove.
