Dear Family and Friends:

The Fifteenth Time is the Charm. 

As many of you are aware, I “Rode the Rockies” from 2011 until it ended.  While Ride The Rockies was our team’s signature ride, it is gone, and we are still here.  We have grown and continue riding and helping the homeless throughout the front range.  With your support and support of my riding team members, we have raised over $12,000 in 2011 and have now raised over $2,000,000 in total.  It amazes me but confirms that teamwork makes the dream work.

I wore out my hips for the past 14 years so in October of 2024 I got a new left hip and in January of 2025 I got the right one replaced.  All seems to be going well and I’m back on the bike and was able to ride 86 miles of the Stonewall Century Ride on August 9, 2025.

Providing Help and Creating Hope  

What is the Samaritan House?  The Samaritan House helps individuals and families end their state of homelessness with professional care, room and board, food, clothing, counseling, employment assistance, and life-skills classes. The Samaritan House serves parents and their children with extended care, single adults with case management, and provides shelter and meals for those in hunger.

Simple Things

It amazes me that team members also go regularly to serve meals, and we have a teammate that provides free legal service to those in need at the shelter. 

If anyone wants a tour of a shelter or to go with me to serve a meal, let me know.  If you want to join Samaritan Cycling – just reach out and I’ll help you.

Our goal is to raise awareness, provide assistance, and raise as much money as possible for the Samaritan House. With your generosity, we hope it’s a great year! 

Our team appreciates your consideration and support of this worthwhile cause.  If you have any questions about us or our ride please don’t hesitate to call me.

Sincerely,

Tom Dea
