The people we meet during the rides are the fuel that keep us going and the reason we ride. During the trip planned presentations put us in touch with large audiences, but unexpected and chance encounters are just as powerful. A conversation struck up at a convenience store can sometimes mean meeting someone who has lost a family member to cancer or who is fighting it themselves.

During the ride, the Sierra, Rockies, and Ozarks groups will visit hospitals, organizations and local churches to talk about our ride, what we are doing to fight cancer, and how you can help prevent and beat cancer.
