Dragon Butts

Dragon Butts on the Right 2026 Virtual MS150 is complete. 🚴‍♀️💚

We are sore, windblown, exhausted, and incredibly proud. The impact we’ve made for those living with MS feels astronomical, and every mile was worth it. We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supports our events and our teammates through donations — your generosity helps make all of this possible, and we are so grateful. The link to our fundraising site is in the comments, if you’d like to help us get closer to our goal.

When we decided to do our own ride this year, we knew logistics would be a challenge. We’re used to fully supported rides with snacks, water, Gatorade, lunch, and rest stops waiting for us, so we wondered how we could recreate that experience for our riders.

Then we asked for help — and people showed up in the most incredible way.

Thank you to Jeff, Pete, Ted, Marty, Naomi, Dano, Billy, Lu, Matt, Jay, Diana, and Elna. Whether you stocked rest stops, made dinner, provided a camper, crafted the best PB&J sandwiches, drove sag wagon, or simply cheered us on, you made this ride possible.

We are deeply grateful for every bit of support and for everyone who carried us through this journey.

This morning was absolutely beautiful… not too hot, not too cold… honestly one of the best mornings we’ve had in all our years riding the MS150. 🚴‍♂️💚

We made great time on the trail, had amazing Dragon Butts staffing our rest stops, and plenty of laughs along the way. Huge thank you to everyone helping keep this ride rolling.

We made it to the campground safely, and now it’s time for more water, snacks, stories, and some well-earned rest before we head back tomorrow.

Every mile matters.

Tomorrow the Dragon Butts hit the trail to help ! 🚴‍♂️

With the MS150 shifting its start line from Proctor to St. Peter this year, the Dragon Butts are going virtual — but that won’t slow this crew down one bit. Instead of heading south, we’ll be riding our own route from Esko to Hinckley and back over the weekend, tackling 150 miles together in support of the National MS Society.

This small but mighty team takes this ride seriously every single year. While we’ll miss the energy and interactions with the larger MS150 community, we know the purpose behind every mile remains the same. Every pedal stroke, every snack stop, every sore leg, and every laugh along the trail is for those living with MS and for a future free of this disease.

Our team has poured its heart and soul into fundraising, and while we’ve made great progress, we’re still a little short of our goal. If you’re able to help support the cause, we would truly appreciate any donation — big or small. Every dollar helps fuel research, support services, and hope.
