RIDE EXTREME FOR YOUTH EXTREME
2018
THE JOURNEY CONTINUES...
First time visitors start here The idea for doing an extreme motorcycle ride to raise funding to build youth sports complexes in Nicaragua came to the mind and heart of missionary Brian Weed in late 2016. At that time it was a "crazy notion" to have a bunch of guys raise funds to buy dual-sport motorcycles they would then ride from Texas to Nicaragua. These motorcycles would then be donated for ministry use.
The real purpose and focus was actually for "ride teams" to raise funds to build youth sports complexes at the various churches that Brian and his wife Rachael have planted throughout Nicaragua over the past 15-20 years. We have returned from that 2017 trip and all parties were blessed by God beyond measure! The Missouri team raised $70,000 to build a youth sports complex in Leon and the Texas team raised $70,000 to build a complex in Jalapa. The lone Wisconsin rider in 2017 has raised about $50,000 for the Pocochuape location so far and still needs your help!! This is the motivation for the 2018 Wisconsin Iron Butt 1000 ride! At least 6 riders will be joining together in late July of 2018 to ride more than 1000 miles around Wisconsin in less than 24 hours. Pretty Extreme, huh! |
ride extreme for youth extreme the mission
Ride Extreme for Youth Extreme is a fundraiser tool to build youth ministry/sports complexes throughout Nicaragua. We are committed to providing a safe and secure place for Nicaraguan youth to gather in order to experience personal growth in a positive environment. Each complex will cost $70,000 to build.
Each rider is committed to raising funds that will go directly to the construction of these facilities. All funds are processed through our local churches since they have experience in meeting all governmental obligations and the transferring of funds to missionaries abroad.

the Genesis of ride extreme
The original RideExtreme ride crews grew organically by the calling of God. Brian Weed, our missionary friend in Nicaragua, contacted Bruce Walker (Texas) and Bruce Judkins (Wisconsin) during early summer of 2016. He floated the idea of a motorcycle ride from the US to Managua, Nicaragua as a way to get motorcycles donated to mission staff. It wasn't long before this expanded into raising funds for Jovenes Extremo (Youth Extreme) to build at least 4 youth sports complexes.
As "the two Bruce's" started reaching out for financial support it quickly became apparent that God, as usual, had bigger plans. Those plans included calling other riders to join us. Every member of RideExtreme has a unique story to tell of "how God spoke to them" to join our mission.
We all have this in common; a love for God, a desire to help the less fortunate, a passion for motorcycle riding, and finally, an uncontrollable zeal for the "Extreme"!
We believe that following God's will in our lives will always stretch us beyond the norm. We thank each of you for joining us vicariously through your generous giving! God bless you all!

Psalm 45:4-5/ New Living Translation (NLT)
4 In your majesty, ride out to victory,
defending truth, humility, and justice.
Go forth to perform awe-inspiring deeds!
5 Your arrows are sharp, piercing your enemies’ hearts.
The nations fall beneath your feet.
When and where?
The ride to Nicaragua began Easter weekend of 2017. It was a 16 day ride through Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and finally, Nicaragua.
The Wisconsin Iron Butt 1000 ride will take place in mid to late July 2018. It will all be accomplished in less than a 24 hour period but we left a wide window of opportunity so as to pick the best weather day. Our ride will take us throughout the state of Wisconsin.
