Welcome to the next chapter of Trudging Buddies:
a community of sober adventurers and allies committed to fitness, fellowship, and service.
Our Story + Mission
Trudging Buddies began in 2013 as a small cycling team of sober folks and allies training for AIDS/LifeCycle—but it quickly became something bigger. Over the years, we’ve helped more than 500 people, many with no athletic background, complete the 545-mile ride. More than the miles, it’s always been about showing up, building strength, and proving what’s possible in recovery.
Today, with AIDS/LifeCycle behind us, we’re growing into a year-round community focused on fitness, fellowship, and service. Whether you're into endurance events or just looking for connection, there’s a place for you here.
We believe everyone deserves a team. Trudging Buddies is ours.
