(ANGOLA) - Cops Cycling for Survivors will bring its 25th annual Ride to Remember through northeast Indiana next week, with confirmed local stops in Auburn, Angola and LaGrange.
The statewide ride begins July 6 and honors Indiana law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty, while also supporting the families and survivors who carry their legacy forward.
Cyclists will ride nearly 1,000 miles across Indiana over 13 days. Many of the riders are survivors, officers, retirees and family members.
What began in 2002 as a ride to Washington, D.C. has grown into a statewide mission. Each July, cyclists travel across Indiana, stopping in communities to meet with survivors, share memorials and make sure the service and sacrifice of Indiana's fallen officers are not forgotten.
Local Route Stops
July 8: Bluffton to Angola, with stops including Decatur, Fort Wayne and Auburn.
July 9: Angola to Mishawaka, with stops including LaGrange, Middlebury, St. Joseph Police Department and South Bend Police Department.
Who The Ride Honors
The 2026 ride pays special tribute to two Indiana officers whose line-of-duty deaths were formally recognized in 2025:
Reserve Deputy Sheriff John C. Stahl III, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office
End of Watch: June 8, 2025
Corporal Blake Adair Reynolds, Delaware County Sheriff's Office
End of Watch: November 12, 2025
Their portraits have been added to the organization's support truck, a rolling memorial that travels with riders throughout Indiana. The truck displays the faces and stories of more than 500 Indiana officers lost in the line of duty.
