What is Matt thinking as he stands at the Mexico border before the 2,000‑mile ride?
Here we are down at the border in Mexico, a day I honestly didn't think was ever gonna come. We are less than 12 hours away from the start of the ride. And I'm going to walk you through where my mind is at, where my body is at, bringing a few members from the team to talk to you a little bit about what they're feeling and what they're thinking as we are about to embrace an incredible journey and an incredible mission navigating 2 000 miles on a bike from mexico all the way to canada to raise a million dollars and give it all the way on this journey this is the ride we had an awesome morning this morning with a kickoff party of the ride we had people from the dripping springs community we had family we had friends and we had just so many people there to support us and to cheer us on so many questions were asked about how we're feeling how we're going to do this
So many prayers were blessed over us. So many well wishes were given to us. And to drive through that gate at the ranch and watch family and friends shoot off streamers and celebrate as we embark on this journey was just a moment that I want to hold on to and cherish forever. In this moment, so many people are asking me if I'm ready. And the thing I'll tell you is ready is a lie. There is no such thing as being ready because you cannot control if you're ready. Because truly being ready means you have to control the environment and the conditions and the climate, all things way outside of your control. The only thing you can do and the only thing I can do is be prepared. And I can tell you. Unequivocally, I am prepared for this. I have put in hundreds of hours on the trainer. I've hired one of the best cyclists that I could find to be my coach. I've got one of the best crew chiefs, an incredible media team to document this whole journey, and so many amazing people from the GoBundance community riding along and cheering us along along this route.
I can tell you, I am prepared. But ready? I don't know if you're ever truly ready. And I think, honestly, people waiting to be ready is one of the things that holds so many people back from doing things like the ride, from doing things they dream of or hope they can accomplish because they say, I'm not ready. And when I'm ready, I will. I eliminated those words from my vocabulary a long time ago, and so everybody keeps asking, am I ready? Ready doesn't matter, but I'm prepared. I've put in the work, I've put in the effort, and I am determined that we will crush this mission. 2,000 miles, 13 days, all to raise a million bucks and give it away along the journey. I'm going to bring in a few people that have meant a lot to me, to this mission, to this journey, get their perspective on what they're thinking, let them ask some questions, and give you guys a glimpse into part of the team that's making this mission a reality.
Let's go for Holly first. That's what I was thinking. All right, so let me introduce you to the first person. And this lady has been the glue that has held this whole vision together. This was probably the first person I told this idea to. And she kind of just looked at me and said, okay, like she always does, this is Holly. I'm going to let you all hear from her as to what she's feeling, what she's thinking in this moment. So you got to tell yourself, tell your story, tell everybody what you're doing on this mission and tell them how you're feeling. Okay, I'm actually...
feeling a lot of things. I'm feeling really good because it's exciting. It's really exciting and I feel like I've gotten to share a lot with friends and family.
How did Matt prepare physically and mentally for a 2,000‑mile bike journey?
I'm feeling not as organized as I would like to be because I'm a planner and half of the planning for this is wait until this day or wait until halfway through the day or this time to then execute. So I don't want to say I'm stressed cause I don't think that's a very good word, but for lack of a better one, that is maybe where a little bit of stress is coming in and I feel anxious. Shocking, I know. But to get going, because I want to see, like once you have a day under your belt and everyone's done their job for a day, get some momentum that way. Mostly I just feel, honestly I feel a little emotional and I don't even know how to explain that. But I think it's just everything that went on this morning at the party, hearing other people's perspectives, meeting some of the people that we got to meet at the send-off rally. Like just to see people already feel so touched
