It is breast cancer month and we want to give back to a group that has supported The Boob Ride for many years. The Navy cycling team is always seen on The Boob Ride and their riders are instrumental to our success. The Navy team is raising funds for their own this weekend, The Wounded EOD […]

What’s in a name?
Co-Authored by two of the co-founders, Paul and Jennifer. As a co-founder of FUN 4 GOOD (the non-profit that produces The Boob Ride), I handle branding as a consultant all the time. Many people ask me about the pros/cons of such a colorful name as “The Boob Ride”. Evolution We started out with a personal passion to […]
We’re in the news again! “The Cycle of Giving: Part 1”
We, at the Boob Ride, are fortunate to have so many people contribute to our ride and our cause, whether it be through riding, volunteering, or networking. One such Boob Rider is Pete Gerrard, from the Irvine Cycling Examiner and Irvine Bicycles. Not only has Peter ridden the ride for several years, but his shop has […]
Cycling, saddles, and urology?
While our focus has traditionally been on cancer and cycling, The Boob Ride is interested in general health (and cycling). We know that saddles, saddle-soreness, and urology topics have come up in certain cycling circles as well. Therefore, we’ve decided to share this study with you. We’ve recently been contacted by the researchers at the University […]
New Bra for King of the Mountain Award
After seven long years, the King of the Mountain award has had a little work done. It wasn’t just a little nip here or tuck there, it was a total overhaul! Our dedicated Boob Rider and reigning King of the Mountain champion, Dickie Fernández, braved the lingerie section at his local Walmart to procure two new bras […]

This award is for the Most Inspirational rider or participant, and it honors The Boob Ride’s good friend and adviser, Commander Kevin Childre. Commander Childre was […]
Hereditary cancer – do you want to know?
After being involved with breast cancer awareness for many years, I made the decision to go in for hereditary cancer screening at Hoag. It took me several months to finally decide that I wanted to know. My mom’s breast cancer did not have the markers of hereditary cancer, but since my paternal grandma died from […]
One Giant Cancer Struggle
One of our founders and event coordinator is a die-hard, life-long NY Giants fan. She is also a colorectal cancer survivor. In September she was facing a giant of her own (Stage IV for the second time). So, we decided that Karma needed a little kick in the pants. We contacted the NY Giants and ask […]
Dense boobs
I recently had to have a breast MRI done for diagnostic screening. I have the trifecta of bad luck in that I have a history of breast cancer on both sides of my family, I am now 40, and I have dense breasts. Unfortunately, having dense breasts means that regular mammography screening is insufficient for me. […]
