It’s not just about the road you’re on — it’s about moving forward. Growth, resilience, and navigating whatever road lies ahead.

Adventure Shapes the Journey.

Today’s ride:
35.8 miles | 1,172 ft of climb | 2:13

Some days the miles come easy.
Today, the wind had other plans.

There were stretches where it felt like I was pedaling hard just to convince the bicycle we were still moving forward. 😂

How windy was it?

Well… let’s just say the cows were having trouble staying put. 🐄💨

But that’s part of it. You don’t always get to choose the conditions—you just decide whether you’re going to keep moving through them.

Resilience in Motion.
Keep Moving Forward.

You ever have one of those rides where everything is going perfectly… 🚴‍♂️

Then out of nowhere…

🐢💨 TURTLE!!!!

Apparently nobody told this guy that turtles are supposed to be SLOW. 😂

One second I’m just pedaling along, minding my own business. The next, I’m negotiating right-of-way with a four-legged speed bump wearing its own helmet.

🚴‍♂️💨 🐢💨

Cyclist: 0
Turtle: 1
Underwear: Questionable. 😂

Just another reminder that you never really know what’s waiting around the next bend.

Adventure Shapes the Journey.
Resilience Keeps You Moving.

You haven’t seen anything yet.

Pedaling Life Forward started with a bicycle and a journey.

But somewhere along the road, it became something more.

More than miles.
More than destinations.
More than cycling.

It became about continuing forward when the road gets difficult.

Finding purpose in where you’ve been.
And discovering what’s possible in where you’re headed.

PEDALING LIFE FORWARD
RESILIENCE IN MOTION

The journey continues.
And we’re just getting started.

Pedaling Life Forward began with a bicycle.
But the journey was never only about the miles.

Every road brings challenges.
Every challenge leaves a lesson.
And every time we choose to keep moving, we discover what we’re capable of.

Resilience isn’t standing still.
It’s choosing forward — again and again.

This is Pedaling Life Forward.
This is Resilience in Motion. 🇺🇸

The journey continues.

🇺🇸 THE JOURNEY BEGINS.

Every veteran has a story.

A story of service.
A story of sacrifice.
A story that deserves to be remembered.

In 2027, Pedaling Life Forward will begin its next chapter:

The Roads Between Oath & Sacrifice
A cycling journey from Iowa to Arlington.

This isn’t just about the miles.

It’s about honoring those who raised their right hand…
remembering those who gave everything…
and continuing the mission by supporting veterans long after the uniform comes off.

One road.
One story.
One pedal stroke at a time.

The journey is just beginning.

🇺🇸 Because every veteran is worth fighting for.

THE MISSION CONTINUES

Every road tells a story.

Some roads lead us home.
Some roads challenge us.
And some roads remind us of the price that has been paid for the freedoms we enjoy every day.

In May 2027, I’ll begin The Roads Between Oath & Sacrifice—a cycling journey from Waterloo, Iowa, to Arlington.

This journey is about more than the miles ahead. It’s about honoring those who took the oath, remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and recognizing those who continue to serve long after their uniform is put away.

This is another chapter in the mission of Pedaling Life Forward—using the road to inspire resilience, reflection, and remembrance.

Honor the Oath. Respect the Sacrifice. Never Forget the Fallen. Keep Moving Forward.

Follow the journey as we prepare for the road ahead.

🇺🇸 THE ROADS BETWEEN OATH & SACRIFICE 🇺🇸

Every veteran has a story.

While no two journeys are exactly alike, many begin with the same promise and continue through experiences that shape a lifetime.

This animation introduces The Five Chapters—a tribute to the path of military service and the people who walk it.

⭐ Chapter One — The Oath
A Promise Made

🚶 Chapter Two — The Journey
The Road Taken

❤️ Chapter Three — The Sacrifice
Those Who Support Us Always

🫡 Chapter Four — The Service
A Lifetime of Commitment

🚴 Chapter Five — The Mission
Keep Moving Forward

As each chapter comes to life, so does the story behind it.

This is more than an announcement of my next cycling journey from Waterloo, Iowa, to Arlington National Cemetery in 2027.

It’s a tribute to those who raised their right hand, to the families who stood beside them, to those who served, and to those whose sacrifices will never be forgotten.

Through Pedaling Life Forward, I’ll be riding to honor those stories while raising awareness and support for veterans through our partnership with Americans for Independent Living Resource Center (AFIL).

Because some roads are measured in miles…

Others are measured in courage, commitment, sacrifice, and service.

Adventure Shapes the Journey.
Resilience in Motion.

🇺🇸 Honor the Oath.
Respect the Sacrifice.
Never Forget the Fallen.
Keep Moving Forward.
