From Mike, Pete and everyone else who wants to help, which is basically the entire Cadence Community:

Of all the things we've heard at Cadence over the past few weeks, what we hear most is "What are we going to do?"

Not, "What am I going to do?" Not once.

We are all of us, as one. Community. And that spirit of togetherness that we've experienced at Cadence will go on, forever. The memories. The laughter, omg the laughter. "I sweat my pants!" We could go on, and on....and we will. We'll always talk about Cadence when we run into one another, or get together for a coffee, or....

But what are we going to do? Right now? Here's something.

As you know, although Cadence has come a long way since the closures and restrictions that Covid 19 brought, the financial repercussions have simply been overwhelming. Tash is doing everything she can to keep the spirit alive. Part of that is keeping Cadence going until mid-March.

A group of us put our heads together to help Tash. We're hoping that our community will step up and help one more time. Your kind and generous donations will support the Cadence team and allow us to ride together through March. Your donations will help Tash pay Cadence team members, while any money raised through pass and equipment sales will help pay down her substantial debt.

As Tash says, "We will be actively seeking other opportunities to continue Cadence’s legacy, but in the meantime, we want to celebrate our years with you!"

Let's keep the Cadence heartbeat booming loud and strong, for as long as we can. Please donate if you can, what you can. And with your donation, please share one or more of your Cadence memories.

Thank-you, from all of us, to all of us.

What unites us.

We believe in you. We believe in us. We believe in the power of community. We believe in the strength of together. We believe in hard work. In laughter, in closeness, in making the most of us.

We believe in community. A murmuration of friends all flowing and growing together. The beauty of a collective with a shared objective. You and me and us together create the unity that’s our community, our place, our space. Our room to move to ride to grow to stretch and to finally breathe deep; and exhale.

We come here for our friends, our families, ourselves. For our health our happiness, for our well being for the feeling of freeing our bodies and our minds. We’re here for our sanity more than our vanity And we’re here because here, we never feel alone.

Our community is togetherness. Our community is love. Our community is chocolate for the spirit and sugar for the soul. Our community is deep connection. With ourselves, our abilities, our inner powers and through the hours spent together, we grow, better, together, and become a force that’s unstoppable and unshakeable. Unbreakable.

Our community is a place of mind, is peace of mind, and nobody, nobody can take that from us.

And moving forward, together, we will be magic. We will be strong. We will be love. We will be present. We will be here for one another, and for ourselves. We will. Just. Keep. Moving.

Together.
