EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. — As SHIELD616 riders began this year's 480-mile Border-to-Border ride on Wednesday, the impact from fundraising efforts is only more palpable after the recent death of El Paso County Deputy Andrew Peery.
With the recent loss top of mind, the SHIELD616 border-to-border bicycle ride kicked off, with riders traveling from Utah to the Kansas border over five days to raise money for the Colorado Springs-based organization's mission of helping provide protective gear to first responders. Elder has now dealt with the loss of three deputies in the line of duty: Micah Flick in 2018, Jeff Hopkins in 2020 and now Peery. Each loss has been difficult to bear.
