Welcome to The Rolling Barrage Blog
The purpose of The Rolling Barrage Blog is to provide information about the annual coast-to-coast ride across Canada to raise awareness about PTSD and other Mental Health challenges. Information on the annual ride, ride experiences, sponsors, merchandise, and organizations we support with donations.
These are the stories of The Rolling Barrage. From its origins to recent events. It all forms an amazing and challenging journey that starts on the East Coast of Canada and proceeds to the finale on the West Coast of Canada.
There are over 150 blog posts to read. That is a lot of stories and more to tell in the future. To begin, just scroll down below and you will see the latest The Rolling Barrage – Blog entries.
