EMS Memorial Bike Riders Push On
It had all the makings of a terrific picnic along the banks of the Potomac River. There were jugs of peanut butter and jelly, fruit, ham, cheese, a huge sausage, cookies and energy bars.
Paramedics and EMTs involved in the EMS Memorial Bike Ride took a much deserved break Wednesday afternoon after winding through country roads in Carroll and Montgomery counties in Maryland.
The riders, from eight states, started the 600-mile trek in New York on Sunday. They’re headed to Roanoke, Va. for the annual National EMS Memorial Service. They’ll be joined there by five bicyclists who are pedaling in from Kentucky.
