I always say at the end of the Agony Ride, “Never again.” And yet—here I am, gearing up for my fifth year in a row. Each year brings its own challenges, but also its own rewards, and somehow the experience keeps calling me back.
It’s hard to put into words what the Agony Ride truly means. Watching the Ranch staff, volunteers, sponsors, and especially the young adults come together with such unity and purpose is deeply moving. Their presence and encouragement are what keep me pedaling through the pain and fatigue.
Seeing the young adults—many of whom have faced incredible challenges—witness the dedication of riders and saggers (the real heroes!) is powerful. They realize that every mile, every hour, every ache is for them. That realization is what transforms this ride into something far greater than just a physical challenge.
What makes this fifth year especially meaningful is the community that has grown along the way. People who once were strangers have become trusted friends, teammates, and partners in this mission. Together, we’ve built something lasting—united by a shared purpose and a desire to use the gifts God has given us to reflect Christ’s love. Not just to the students at the Ranch, but to everyone who witnesses this incredible journey.
So yes, I’m riding again. And I’m honored to be part of something so much bigger than myself.
