You'll probably see news reports about the Tour de Force bicycle ride from New York City to Washington DC sometime over the weekend.

Beginning Friday, about 100 police officers from around the US will hop on their bicycles at Ground Zero in New York City and begin a 265-mile bike ride down the East Coast to the Pentagon in Washington DC.

In it's fifth year, the ride commemorates the firefighters, police officers and civilians who died in the terrorist attacks on 9-11. Monday, the day they arrive at the Pentagon, is the 5th anniversary of the attack.

Cyclists will begin the ride in New York, and continue into New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and finally Virginia. The riders will wind through DC with a Metro police escort to the Pentagon.

If you want to check them out, here's the schedule for the Tour de Force bike ride and where they'll be staying.
