I ryde because when I first joined the community as a ryder, I was instantly hooked on the idea that we are stronger together. I got to witness it - a room full of people who were united by the beat of the music all sharing one space, one passion, one heartbeat. That sense of community, the idea that you could not know someone and in forty five minutes be slamming on their handle bars because you just kicked ass together and conquered something HUGE was addicting, and I knew I found a place that I wanted to help other people find that same love and support for themselves, too.
