This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. To honor the first responders who lost their lives that day, a group of firefighters is preparing for a bike ride that will take them from the San Francisco Bay Area to the Brooklyn Bridge and Ground Zero in New York.

The 3,800-mile bike ride began as an idea shared between Darrell Sales, lead organizer for Bay to Brooklyn, and his son. A group of motorcyclists planned to ride to New York in 2011 for the 10th anniversary of 9/11. However, Sales’s son didn’t own a motorcycle.
