STOP. 🤍

Take a look at what YOU did.

$21,311.00.

That’s our tentative cash donation total from this year’s Ride that will be donated directly back to Project Headspace and Timing.

I’m emotional. I’m thankful. And honestly, I’m struggling to find the words.

Because in Year One, we raised just over $1,400.

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that just a few years later we’d be sitting here talking about $21,311.00.

Not because of one person. Not because of me. But because an entire community chose to believe in a mission bigger than themselves.

Every registration. Every donation. Every raffle ticket. Every sponsorship. Every volunteer. Every shared post. Every rider who showed up. Every family who trusted us with their support.

Every dollar has a story behind it.

A life remembered.

A struggle acknowledged.

A hand reaching out to help someone they may never meet.

This isn’t just money.

This is hope.

This is compassion.

This is proof that people still show up for each other.

We’re still finalizing expenses and working through the last details, but as it stands today, $21,311.00 is the tentative cash amount we’re on track to donate directly back to Project Headspace and Timing.

To everyone who has supported this Ride from day one, and to everyone who joined us somewhere along the way, thank you. You have helped build something truly special.

And if you’re proud of what this community accomplished, share the hell out of this.

Because this story deserves to be told.

From just over $1,400 in Year One to $21,311.00 in Year Four.

And I have just one thought:

Holy s**t. (Pardon my French.)

If this is what Year Four looks like, I cannot wait to see what Year Five brings.

What a beautiful reminder of what can happen when people come together to ride for those who can’t. 🤍

For the first time in a long time, we’re at a loss for words.

Yesterday, over 200 people and more than 100 motorcycles came together for the 4th Annual The Ride, and the love and support we witnessed was overwhelming.

Thank you for showing up. Thank you for riding. Thank you for supporting. Most of all, thank you for trusting us and allowing us to continue carrying this mission forward year after year. What started as an idea has become something so much bigger than us, and that’s because of every single one of you.

To those who have been with us from the beginning and to those who joined us for the first time yesterday, thank you for believing in what The Ride stands for. It is an incredible honor to bring this event to life each year and to share it with a community that cares so deeply.

Our hearts are full. We are humbled, grateful, and incredibly proud of what we accomplished together.

We’re giving our Ride Team a well-deserved day to recoup and reflect on an unforgettable weekend. Tomorrow, we’ll share the total amount raised and the impact your generosity will make.

Until then, please know how thankful we are for each and every one of you.

Riding For Those Who Can’t

The 4th Annual the Ride!!!

05/29/2026

24 HOURS. 🤯🏍️

In just 24 hours, the FOURTH ANNUAL The Ride officially begins and honestly… we’re running on pure adrenaline, excitement, caffeine, and probably a concerning lack of sleep at this point.

What started as one ride somehow turned into this huge, loud, beautiful family — and getting to welcome all of you back every year is something we never stop being grateful for. The bikes, the laughs, the chaos, the hugs, the stories, the meaning behind every mile… there is truly nothing like it.

Tomorrow, parking lots become reunions.
Strangers become friends.
And hundreds of people come together for something bigger than themselves.

We are SO ready to see you all.
The hype is real.
The emotions are real.
And yes… someone on the ride team is absolutely stress-cleaning and pretending that counts as preparation right now.

24 hours until we ride.
24 hours until the memories start again.
24 hours until we do what this event is all about — Riding For Those Who Can’t. 🖤

WHY WE RIDE

Behind the motorcycles and the laughs, we are here for a vital mission. We are riding to support Project Headspace and Timing and our veterans who face their hardest miles after coming home. We ride for the ones who can't, the ones we've lost, and the ones still fighting silent battles. Every registration, $10 shirt, and raffle ticket gets us closer to our $20,000 goal and reminds our vets they never ride alone.

QUICK RIDE DAY REMINDERS:

Bring your good vibes, loud music, and open hearts—the raffle tables are loaded.

Yes, "teacher Aubrey" will be watching, so let’s keep it safe and respectful all day long.

Come hang out, pre-register, grab your gear, and let’s kick off this incredible weekend. See you tonight!

Join me at the Good Vibrations - The Ride

Is it 3 days out? 2? Honestly at this point time is just a loose guideline.

We are SO excited to see you all so soon!! Those first 200 spots started moving FAST in the last 24 hours—don’t wait, get in while you still can!!

You can still absolutely participate after that, but you’ll be missing out on the morning goodies… and trust me, that’s where the real magic happens! 😅

It’s your Ride Team & Redbull vs the world—fully fueled, slightly unhinged, and running on pure anticipation.

We can’t wait to see you all so soon and kick this thing off together!! And yes… still open to brand deals. Red Bull, I’m looking directly at you.
