Honoring Memorial Day & Reflecting on an Incredible 5th Anniversary SFSO Ride…

As we pause this Memorial Day to remember and honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, we also want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported SPIN FOR SPECIAL OPS (SFSO) over the past five years.

Going into Saturday, the weather forecast was far from ideal. We know some riders made the decision not to come because of the uncertainty, and we completely understand and appreciate your support regardless.

But despite the forecast, we had an incredible turnout! We were fortunate to roll out without rain, and while the storms eventually caught us mid-ride, it honestly turned into an epic and memorable day. Most importantly, everyone made it back safely.

The camaraderie, support, and energy throughout the day were incredible. We were honored to ride alongside members of the Special Operations Forces community, veterans, adaptive athletes, and supporters.

Because of your support, we raised over $55K this year for OPERATION ONE VOICE (O1V)! THANK YOU!
These funds directly support O1V programs that assist wounded and fallen Special Operations Forces warriors and their families through immediate assistance, rehabilitation, family support, adaptive sports, and more.

SPONSORS & VOLUNTEERS: A special thank you to Anheuser-Busch for hosting us once again at the Cartersville Budweiser plant for the 5th straight year. Your continued partnership means so much to our event and mission.

We also want to thank ALL OF OUR SPONSORS AND VOLUNTEERS for helping make this event possible, with a special callout to our Major General Sponsors including Eagle Rock Distributing, Wahoo, Mathews Furniture + Design, and MGT.

PHOTOS & VIDEO: Our photographer, Mike Adams, captured thousands of incredible photos throughout the day, and we’ll be sending out a full gallery link soon. We were also provided some drone footage at the start- check out the short video - see the link in the comments.

SFSO 2026 KIT: Don't Miss Out! You can still order the official 2026 SFSO Anniversary JERSEY & BIBS through May 31st to commemorate this year’s ride. All proceeds directly support O1V programs. Order per the link in the comments.

From all of us at SFSO and O1V, thank you for riding with purpose, supporting our mission, and helping us honor the Quiet Professionals and their families.
