‘Ride with Pride’ Second Phase Begins

Three Army veterans, Major General S.R Balasuriya (Rtd) USP, Major General K.P.S Premalal (Rtd) RWP RSP USP and Colonel W.N.P.S.K Perera (Rtd) RWP RSP, once again began their ‘Ride with Pride’ bike ride this morning (28 Apr).

This bike ride, which started at Galle Face, will traverse through Kalpitiya, Pooneryn, Kankesanthurai, Mullaitivu, Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Pottuvil, Katharagama, Tangalle and Aluthgama, concluding its journey back at Galle Face on 12 May 2024.

All three Senior Officers of the Sri Lanka Artillery Regiment had taken this initiative in order to symbolize their strength, determination and pride of the Army, for which they had dedicatedly served for decades. This is the second time that a trio of Retired Senior Officers jointly undertake a long bike ride of this magnitude upon their retirement.
