Meet Team Macy Grey! Steven first joined BRAKING AIDS® Ride in 2018, and Matthew followed suit in 2020. What started as a shared love for cycling and giving back grew even stronger with beloved pit bull Macy Grey cheering them on every mile to raising almost $70,000 to end AIDS and homelessness.

Every pedal forward matters. We ride to raise awareness, to fight stigma, and to support those experiencing homelessness and living with HIV. Together, each mile creates visibility, community, and action. This is why we ride.

Our riders say it best. BRAKING AIDS® Ride offers something rare: connection. Connection to purpose, community, nature, and who we are when we slow down and ride together.

4 out of 5 riders say the best part of BRAKING AIDS® Rides are the hugs. Who are we to argue? Happy National Hugging Day to all you big huggers out there!

Today, on World AIDS Day, we ride with purpose. Every mile we ride and every dollar we raise brings us closer to a world without AIDS. Thank you for honoring those we've lost, supporting those living with HIV, and pushing forward until the end of AIDS is a reality. #worldaidsday

The world can feel scary right now. Sometimes all you need for a little bit of peace is a weekend of riding with new and old friends to support an organization working for change, like @housingworksnyc.bsky.social. Claire, Rider #76, shares how this weekend left a lasting impact on her.

How has it already been one month since the Ride? We hope you've had time to relax, recharge, and give your legs a break. We're still reminiscing about the smiles shared, the laughter heard, and the action taken one month ago. What memory are you still thinking about from this year's Ride?

Thank you to all of our supporters who provided this year's Ride with delicious snacks and drinks for our riders and crew to enjoy along the route. We were proud to serve products from Pickle Juice, Herr's, and @wegmansofficial.bsky.social, as well as Phillips Farms' apples. Thank you!

What's better than Red Dress Day? Is there a better way to raise HIV/AIDS awarenesss - and fill the roadways with fabulousness? We don't think so! Red Dress Day stems from an AIDS Ride back in the day where riders attempted to look like a red ribbon on the road with everyone wearing red for the day.
