🎶🚴‍♂️ New Power of 3 Playlist – Songs About Songs! 🚴‍♀️🎶

This week’s Music Mondays – The Power of 3 is all about the songs that sing about songs! 🎵 The inspiration hit me the other day when my smart speaker played Kenny Chesney's "I Go Back," and I couldn’t help but think about how music takes us back to special moments in life.

🔥 This week’s playlist features:
🎧 Jack & Diane – John Mellencamp
🎧 Rock’n Me – Steve Miller Band
🎧 Only the Good Die Young – Billy Joel
🎧 I Go Back – Kenny Chesney

Each track flows perfectly into the next with harmonic mixing, so you can focus on the ride and let the music take you back! 🎶

Hit play, ride strong, and relive the magic of music! 🚴‍♀️✨

Welcome back to Music Mondays – The Power of 3, where music fuels your ride and takes you on a journey—both physically and emotionally.

Final chance to register for the final Roadless Ride!

🏡 At Brent’s Place, there’s no limit to how long a family can stay and that makes all the difference for families like Josiah’s. Josiah and his family spent over a year at Brent’s Place while he awaited and recovered from a heart transplant.

Having a long-term, home so close to meant everything to them. Josiah’s mom said it best: “I love being so close to the hospital so we can just drop everything and go see Josiah when we need to.” With Brent’s Place nearby, they didn’t have to face the exhausting daily drives from Wyoming, allowing them to focus on what mattered most—being with Josiah.
