I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation to all of you for making this past Saturday’s Last Miner Riding event truly unforgettable! It was an incredible day, filled with perfect weather, amazing trails, and an overwhelming sense of enthusiasm and camaraderie from the 88 folks who came out to support the CHD Warrior Foundation. Your presence and energy made all the difference, and I can’t thank you enough for being part of it. We simply couldn’t do what we do without your support.
A huge thank you goes out to our wonderful sponsors, whose generosity and commitment helped make the event possible: LaRue Artesian Spring Water Trans-Am Cyclery Miner Tough The Missouri Mudders, Trailhead Bicycles ESI Grips Thrivent Charitable Mr. Rhine's Photography and South Side Cyclery. Your contributions were vital to our success, and we are so grateful.
I also want to recognize the outstanding support from the Missouri Mudder group—Mark, Ken, Charlie, and Jim—as well as Andy and the entire staff at St Joe State Park. Their dedication and hard work in preparing the trails after the severe weather the week before the race ensured the event ran smoothly and that everyone had a fantastic experience.
As we look ahead to next year, I can’t help but wonder—who will step up to challenge Alexandro Chavez, our two-year reigning champion? Let’s keep the spirit alive and start planning for another great ride!
Thank you once again to everyone. Here’s to more adventures and even bigger celebrations in the future!
Ben and the CHD Warrior Foundation (formerly Team Noah Foundation)
