This year, we didn’t just ride trails—we helped change lives. Through mountain biking, we gave veterans struggling with PTSD something powerful: connection, purpose, and a place to breathe again. On the bike, ranks and labels fade, replaced by camaraderie, challenge, and trust. Each ride became a form of therapy—reducing stress, rebuilding confidence, and reminding our veterans they’re not alone. The miles we covered together represent resilience, healing, and hope. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished, and even more proud of the veterans who showed up, pushed forward, and proved that recovery is possible—one ride at a time.

CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉 Lt. Gen. Stayce D. Harris made history as the first Black woman to serve as a three-star general in the U.S. Air Force and the first Black female lieutenant general in its entire history. She also became the highest-ranking Black woman in the Department of Defense at retirement. 🫡

Raised in Los Angeles by a single mother who worked multiple jobs, Harris grew up in a modest, challenging environment. She overcame skepticism and limited opportunities in aviation to command at every level, including Inspector General of the Air Force. Her trailblazing service inspires resilience and excellence. 👏🇺🇸
