Last year I was able to experience every moment and hardship that comes into doing a 24 hour bike ride for a good cause. In those moments and in the times I felt like giving up it was a constant reminder of God's commitment to never leave me in the hardest of times (and yes doing 24 hours on a bike will make you want to give up haha). This year I am excited to be able to experience another 24 hours of bringing me closer to God's ministry while being able to help young adults with the sponsorship and support of family and friends. Thank you for showing the Love and Grace God has for his children with sponsoring such an amazing ministry. Ted
Thank you for choosing to sponsor Ted! Your gift will make a difference in the lives of many young people.

You’ve got this, Ted! I fully expect for to cost me an extra $10!
Good talk Teddy A. See ya out there.
Opening the bidding Jonathan -
So glad that you are riding, Ted!! We're behind you all the way! Go, Ted!!! Tree and Sue
Good Luck and hydrate
Pedal pedal pedal pedal!!
Don’t stop or embarrass your favorite nephew brother or sister in law.
I think I pass you if Ted gets to 310 - guess we'll see if a year older Ted is a better Ted
You got this, Ted! Thanks for coming so far to ride!
Ted, make me broke.
Have fun!!
Thanks for riding and making a difference in the lives of these kids. One of these years we both need to do the Agony together.
Hi Ted! You're making great progress (way better than I could do!). The night may be long but at least it's not so very hot. I'm glad you get to ride again and support this group. Your bravery in riding gives courage to many others to press on through tough times and to always look to help others and not just focus on oneself. May God give you great strength through the night and the wisdom to rest and rejuvenate as needed. Aunt Nancy and Uncle Ray
Great job! Proud of you! Love you! Mom
I'm taping out Brian. Ted's beastliness has raised us both and I'm going to leave you holding the bag :)
See you Friday!!!
I am so proud of you, Ted. I greatly respect what you just did.
So proud of you, Ted! To God be the glory! Thanks for giving so much for the Ranch!!
Ted, thank you for causing yourself so much pain and struggle yesterday and today (and possibly for the next week!). It’s hard to describe the depth of truth that you just lived out for the students (and others) there. Sometime toward the middle of every single one of the Agonys I sagged, I saw the wheels starting starting to turn in students’ heads as the bike wheels turned. Realizing how much pain the bikers are starting to dive into, and then realizing that it was for them. Because they’re loved. Thank you for being one of the best living pictures of Jesus that I’ve ever seen. Thank you for letting Jesus use you to change lives forever.
You have some very excited fans over here in Idaho 🎉❤️🎊
Nailed it!!!!!!! Wow!!!
#stud #thatsmybrother #doalltothegloryofGod
So close Ted and still going!! This PR is going to be hard to pass next year! You're crushing it!!!!
Ahhhh!! I am so proud of you! You are absolutely killing it like I knew you would. Under an hour left and you’ve blown past all your goals and are in the lead. 💖
Ted! Your endurance is phenomenal!!! Only 1 hour left! Lord God, please bring Ted everything he needs!
The weather shows a few clouds arriving in this next hour 🌤
Hear my cry, O God; Give heed to my prayer. From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength against the enemy. Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
You passed Craig’s lead! Riding 1st!
Wow!! Go, Ted! You are rockin' it!!!
Ted Anderson 304 miles!
Finally proud of you riding. You got your goal so now this is all extra! Go uncle Ted !
So now that passed 250 miles, 280 miles, and 300 miles, I think you are making $11 per mile more than when you started!!!
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which you have showed toward his name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Dig deep and you'll be the first ever mileage leader from Colorado (I assume).
You and Jonathan are tied with miles! Does that mean you’re riding with the Legend?! Does that also mean that you never slept last night? I did not know my cousin was such a beast.
Ted!! You’re a beast! You’re at the top of The leaderboard with Jonathan and Craig! What?!!
Peddle Thomas, peddle!
This is starting to cost me!! I might need to get a paying job!! GO TED!
First place still!!! Go Ted!!! Stay in front of that Palmer guy! Keep it up! You can do it.
One more loop around and you've got the 300. You've got this in the bag. Easier than what you signed up to do next weekend...
You’re a beast!
Wow, Ted. You made it through the darkest time. 😉 Keep it up. "Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame and is at down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2
AMAZING! Great Work, Ted!!! ⚡️When you get this message you will have passed 250!!!
Look out, Jonathan Palmer appears to be coming for you.

You are killing this ride! On this lap you're already starting into the bigger $$$!!!
You are doing so well. You made it through the night! Praying for endurance through the morning/afternoon as it heats up and that you get some cloud coverage. So proud of you!
Out pacing the Palmers-nothing to sneeze at!
Wow! Blew past your money goal! Almost to your mileage goal!! That’s amazing!!
"With my God I can scale a wall. . . [or pedal another leg]" Psalm 18
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty who was, and is, and is to come. Lord God , please make the sunrise extra beautiful for Ted this morning 🌅
It looks like you are ahead of everyone in the entire group and riding just with the Lord now! May He be your strength! May your time with Him be sweet.
Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.
At this rate one of my brothers might be asking his favorite bank for a loan come Monday morning…. You’re making excellent work it.
Keep going. By the time you see this you will be over 200 miles! Keep going! You’re over 2/3 of the way.
Wow! Just checked your miles! I would be so dead! Praying for strength as you pedal towards the sunrise.
You are amazing, Ted. God be praised! Keep pedaling. Just do the next run. Thank you so much!
Praying for you Ted. as you ride through the night. Thank you for giving of yourself so others can find God’s love and caring.
You’re about to reach your goal of $3,000! May the Lord continue to bless you and give you strength.
You're getting ready to enter the mental part of the Agony (the hardest part in my opinion). Hang tough, stay in a group, and keep the pitstops short. You got this.
So many miles already!!! Keep it up!!! “Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith Who, for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and was set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Heb 12:2)
I respect you. Your sacrifices demonstrate Christ’s love! And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8
An hour and 25 min without stopping!!! Are you the Everready bunny!!! WOW!!
Way to go, Ted! Rootin' for you all the way!
Great job so far, but let's be honest. You've done longer rides on a chill Saturday afternoon. Time to get serious and enter triple digit mileage.
I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Go Ted! Time to show these lowlander Californians what training at altitude is all about.
You are really smart to stick with a group! God created fellowship
Did you all see Ted riding in 1st place on the leaderboard (except for the virtual rider)? So yeah, that’s MY cousin!!
You’re killing it, Ted! And you may very well be past the hottest part.
Ted, if you tell anyone I said this, I’ll murder you. You’re really amazing and I look up to you in so many ways. Especially your steadfastness and determination. Ok, that’s all for now, I’m going to sink into my cozy bed and get a good night’s sleep now. 😜
Great start, Ted. Take a deep breath and keep on! We're with ya!
The greatest gift you can give others is Jesus. Your miles of agony are making this possible. Thank you for working so hard! We appreciate you, Ted!
We’re rooting for you and praying! Don’t be weary in doing good, because you—and The Ranch students, too—will reap if you don’t give up.
Is it as hot as your apartment?
We glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope. Rom 5:3b-4
Hang in there Ted. Cooler temps are coming.
Why are you so slow? Go faster! Don’t fall down
Welcome to the Agony Ride 2022, aka sucksville. Population: YOU
Go, Ted, Go!!!
Go Ted!!!! Stay strong! So excited to see how far you go this year!
Don’t die
Go, Ted! I know you will do amazing! Getting the first hundred in the next two hours will let you have time for a nap later on. Just saying:)
