Move with Purpose

February 1 - 28, 2026

During the month of February, you can help fundraise by riding, running, or swimming in the Rally for the Y! Your participation helps us compete with Ys across the country while raising critical funds for our community.

When you ride the Blue Goji/Expresso bikes in the wellness center, Blue Goji donates $0.10 per mile. Thanks to generous friends of the Y, your effort goes even further with these matching gifts:

  • $1 per mile on Blue Goji/Expresso bikes and cycle classes
    • Kids ages 10–16 riding Blue Goji bikes will receive a $2.50 per-mile match
  • $2 per mile on the treadmill
  • $0.50 per lap in the pool

Incentives

  • Ride 25 Blue Goji miles = YMCA water bottle
  • Raise $100 = Insulated YMCA lunch box

John McLeod

Join Us for Ride Like John Day!

February 14

Join us on the Blue Goji bikes as we honor the memory of our long-time member and Expresso rider, John McLeod. John was a constant presence on the bikes and could always be counted on to support new riders. He was truly an encouraging voice to all.

On Valentine's Day, we invite you to participate by trying a new ride, recruiting a new rider, and/or striking up a conversation with the cyclist next to you.

Together, we can ride like John!
