From Colony to Country: Cycling Through History to Inspire Patriotism
A Soleful Training Project in parternship with MOM and DAD Army
Uniting Patriots
Tour de Patriot is a meticulously crafted experience by Soleful Training. In partnership with Mom and Dad army it is designed to showcase the very essence of American greatness through grit and endurance. We have also partnered with and will support TMRW Battalion (510c3), founded by Vincent Vargas. Their mission is to help our first responders and military.
The initiative takes you on an unforgettable 1200 mile bike ride from the historic Folsom Tavern (NH) to the charming city of Savannah, Georgia. A grassroots effort to reignite patriotism, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the American people. Along the route, we will showcase the heart of the nation's past, stopping at key historical sites that have shaped the American story. From Revolutionary War landmarks to Civil War battlefields, each stop will unveil layers of history that remind us of the resilience and courage that defines the American spirit.
But the Tour de Patriot goes beyond the pages of history books. At various points along the journey, participants will engage with and interview patriotic Americans—individuals whose stories embody the principles and values that have fueled our nation's growth. These encounters will be an intimate glimpse into the lives of those who contribute to the ongoing narrative of what it means to be an American!
