This year will be our 43rd Agony Ride, and 43 years since I arrived at the Ranch. In those 43 years I have been privileged to see countless young lives changed by the power and love of Christ. The Agony Ride has always stood as a small example of Christ’s sacrificial love, and throughout the years many students have been deeply impacted by it. Many of those students would not have been able to come to the Ranch without the money raised through the ride.
I have ridden in the Agony 24 times, including 3 in the early Death Valley years, and been a sagger at all the rest. I have seen God at work, both in my life and in others' lives, in every single one. After taking several years off from riding to serve as Ride Director, this year I am able to ride with the group once again. I'm excited to see what God has in store this year.
The students who come to the Ranch are so valuable, and so worth everything we can give them. Please partner with me as we work to “break the cycles of brokenness, one story at a time.”
(Note: I’m $26,179 short of $200,000 lifetime raised. Will you help me get there?)

Great job Caryn! Your dedication to support the students at the Ranch is incredible! You push your body to the limits to demonstrate to others Christ's love for each precious life. Praying for you!
Caryn, you’re still inspiring us all!! Well done!!
Go Caryn go! I have been praying the Holy Spirit would strengthen your inner being throughout the ride. Thank you for giving the students and all of us an example that helps us grasp the depth of God’s love for us. “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:14-21
Hod bless you Caryn! Thanks for your leadership and sacrifice for the Ranch Family. Mike and Susie

Go Caryn! You got this- praying for you and we know God will give you the strength you need!
Go Caryn! Your steadfast service is such an inspiration to me and so many others. “He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Psalms 121:3-8
Bless you Caryn! I'm thinking of you and praying for you! What a goal! Stay warm. I love you!
Go Caryn!! The kids and I are praying for you as the sun goes down. Specifically for endurance and renewal of your mind. Great job!
