Blazing Saddles - August 10th, An Awesome Ride Event with Awesome Friends

Thank you to the riders, volunteers, family members, and friends, along with the amazing sponsors for making the Blazing Saddles Event an awesome and fun experience for all.

The Team Suicide Prevention partnership with Bixby Bicycles and their passion for suicide prevention and mental health awareness is the glue that bonds our teams together. We are all working for the same cause by using cycling as a venue to spread hope and awareness regarding suicide prevention. Thank you to all the organizations, sponsors, and other non-profits working together to help each other. Every finishing cyclist had nothing but kudos for the event organization, rest stops and their workers, the plentiful food and beverages at the rest stops, the route markings, the poker ride prizes, and the finish line food and beverages.

There was great camaraderie amongst the riders sharing the various course distances too. Every cyclist was cheered crossing the finish line. The 30 plus riders in 107 mile sub 5 ride group all finished together. The 20 plus riders in the 103 mile sub 8 group also finished together. That’s real teamwork at its finest.

Team Suicide Prevention extends our sincere thanks to those who supported this ride. It’s ok now to either take a break from the summer or use the Blazing Saddles ride as a launchpad to your next big ride.

Stay safe and don’t forget to hydrate.
