For as long as I can remember, two forces have driven me: a deep desire to make a meaningful impact and a lifelong love of cycling. As a kid, the simple joy of being on a bike brought me freedom and excitement. Over the years, that passion grew into something much larger—a purpose that would transform not just my life, but the lives of others.

That purpose came to life with the founding of All Ass No Gas Cycling Club. What began as a personal pursuit quickly became a powerful movement, blending cycling with a mission close to my heart: fighting multiple sclerosis. This isn’t just about riding bikes; it’s about building a community of individuals united by a common goal—to support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and those affected by this disease.

My involvement with the MS Society started small. I signed up for a local fundraising ride, thinking it would be a fun way to combine cycling with giving back. What I didn’t expect was how profoundly that event would move me.

The energy was electric. Riders from all walks of life came together, not for personal glory, but for something far bigger. The stories of courage, resilience, and hope lit a fire in me. In that moment, I realized cycling could be more than a hobby—it could be a platform for advocacy, awareness, and lasting impact. That’s when All Ass No Gas Cycling Club was born.

The name might raise eyebrows, and that’s intentional.
“All Ass No Gas” is more than a catchy phrase—it reflects our values:

• Heart over shortcuts – Every mile is earned with grit and effort.
   
• Commitment over excuses – We show up, even when it’s hard.
   
• Purpose over ego – It’s not about coasting; it’s about powering through for a cause that matters.
   

When we ride, we ride with meaning. Our legs provide the power, and our hearts provide the fuel.

From the start, my vision was to create more than just a cycling team. I wanted a space where people could come together to do something bigger than themselves—a space for those willing to train, raise funds, and give everything they’ve got to fight MS.

Every year, our team sets bold goals, both in miles and dollars raised. Fundraising isn’t optional—it’s essential. The money we raise goes directly toward research, advocacy, and life-changing programs for people living with MS.

When someone joins our team, they commit to more than riding. They commit to making a difference. That shared responsibility binds us together and fuels the impact we make as a group.

The stories we hear along the way are what keep us pushing forward.

• A person newly diagnosed, navigating an uncertain future.
   
• A family fighting for their loved one living with MS.
   
• A survivor whose determination mirrors the resilience we strive for every day.
   

These stories remind us that our temporary discomfort—a grueling climb, a long training ride—is nothing compared to the daily challenges faced by those living with MS. They give us perspective, drive, and purpose.

Over time, All Ass No Gas has grown into something much larger than I ever imagined. It’s a movement built on action, compassion, and unity. Every ride, every fundraiser, every conversation spreads awareness and shows the power of ordinary people coming together for a common cause.

I am deeply proud of what we’ve built:

• Every mile pedaled in training and on event days.
   
• Every dollar raised to fund research and provide critical support services.
   
• Every life touched by our efforts and commitment.
   

But most of all, I’m proud of the spirit that defines this team—the fire, grit, and relentless heart of our riders.

• Expand our team to welcome more passionate riders.
   
• Raise more funds to help grow our team - so that we can better serve the MS Society.

• Grow awareness so MS is understood, and those affected never feel alone.
   

We want the name All Ass No Gas to instantly represent action, compassion, and unwavering commitment to a world free of MS.

Supporting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society isn’t just one part of our story—it’s the foundation of who we are.

All Ass No Gas Cycling Club is more than just cyclists riding together. We are a living, breathing example of what happens when purpose meets passion. Together, we ride. Together, we fight. Together, we believe in building a stronger, united community—one pedal stroke at a time.
