BIVOUAC RIDE 2025

Lake Placid, NY


We're "getting lost" in the mountains of New York.  

This trip is a simulation of a mini deployment. A camping trip off the grid using primitive camping sites. We're roughing it. A disconnect from technology.


Cell phone usage will be limited to:

  1. Simple text letting someone know you're alive
  2. Emergencies 
  3. Taking pictures 
  4. We just do not want everyone stuck to their phones and to get the best experience possible. No drama - so make sure your loved ones know you will not be reaching out very often. This is a mental health disconnect. Re-living our youth in the military. With distractions from home you will not get the desired affects that this trip can offer. Airplane mode is suggested. 
  5. If family or loved ones cannot accept these limitations then this may not be the trip for you. Please advise them so everyone can enjoy the trip.


Itinerary for trip:

  1. Kickstands up each morning at 0800
  2. Ride suggested itinerary until roughly 6pm local time
  3. This gives each member 2 hours to set up camp. 
  4. We will choose stops for site seeing as a group throughout the ride. 
  5. We may change ride routes based on rider experience and comfortability along with construction detours and weather. ​


Safety First:

  1. We will be taking mostly back roads for the entire trip so that we may maintain a lower speed limit of 55 mph max. We're not in a hurry and we want to enjoy the scenery along with staying away from busy highways. 
  2. We must follow local laws within each state. Packing lists are provided for these mandatory items. 
  3. We will have one follow vehicle puling an empty trailer in case there is a breakdown. You are not permitted to put any of your items in vehicles or trailers or other peoples bikes. What you bring must fit on your vehicle / motorcycle. You must be able to survive solely on your own transportation. 
  4. You must have proper drivers license, endorsements, and insurance before departure. See checklist.


Any other information will be provided upon request with one of our staff members during any therapy session that you attend in person. 



*To go on this trip you must Be a current PARTICIPATING veteran.
