That. Was. Incredible.

We've watched in awe as you chased down ambitious goals, rallied your communities, battled challenging weather, set new PBs, overcame setbacks, discovered new trails, explored beautiful scenery, and more!

You should all be SO proud of your incredible efforts. 🧡

We rode for Charlotte, Kai, Kylie, Jasper, Emma, Lincoln and ALL kids impacted by cancer...

And the aching muscles are worth it, because your support will SAVE LITTLE LIVES across the country. ❤️

A MESSAGE FROM KYLIE’S FAMILY 🧡

GCC ambassador Kylie passed away on August 15 after a courageous battle with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.

She was a special girl who embodied bravery and resilience, and is remembered as someone who loved deeply, laughed often, celebrated others, and fully embraced life. ✨

In these final days of the challenge, Kylie’s family wanted to share a message with you…

“To everyone riding and fundraising with the Great Cycle Challenge, thank you for riding for Kylie and for every child who has faced childhood cancer.

For four years, Kylie had the incredible honor of being a Great Cycle Challenge ambassador, and she absolutely loved being part of this community.

She loved seeing your rides, celebrating your milestones, and cheering you on as you raised money to help create better and safer treatments for kids with cancer.

It meant so much to her to know that people all across the country were riding with kids like her in mind.

Kylie may no longer be here to cheer you on herself, but we hope you know how much your support meant to her and to our family.

Every mile you ride and every dollar you raise carries forward the hope that one day children diagnosed with cancer will have better options and more opportunities to grow up and chase their dreams.

That was something Kylie believed in deeply.

As you pedal through this final stretch of the Challenge, please keep Kylie in your hearts and minds. Remember her smile, her strength, her love of adventure, and the joy she found in being part of this community.

We are incredibly grateful for the thousands of riders who allowed Kylie to be part of their journey over the past four years.

Knowing that she inspired so many people, and that her name will continue to be carried forward through this community, is a beautiful gift to our family.

Thank you for riding for Kylie. Thank you for riding for kids. And thank you for helping keep her spirit moving forward.

With love and gratitude.”

Kirsten and Sean McMullen, Kylie’s Mom and Dad.

We're in the home stretch of Great Cycle Challenge 2026... let's finish STRONG! 💪

GCC ambassador Jasper and his sister Kamila have a message for you:

🚴 “LET’S BRING IT HOME!” 🚴

6-year-old Jasper has been bravely fighting T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma since his diagnosis in May 2024.

He has shown incredible courage and resilience at every step of his cancer journey, and is thankfully now at the very end of his treatment plan.

Jasper has finished chemotherapy and is due to have his port removed in October, after he receives his next clear scans!

He's enjoying 1st grade, playing soccer, doing gymnastics, and regularly rides his bike 4.5 miles on Saturdays. 🧡

Let’s all take inspiration from Jasper and KEEP PUSHING to the very end of the challenge month. 🚴

Team USA, let’s BRING IT HOME! ✊
