 My ALJ experience was fantastic. It went beyond my wildest expectations! I stepped into my true, authentic 'King.' I feel more grounded and peaceful, and more connected to myself, my family, and other men.  — Mathew Frazer |

Upcoming Events
Piccolo Viaggio: Men's Cycling Social
Next Half-Day Rides: August 7 & September 11 in Marin County
Our Piccolo Viaggio ("Little Journey") is a monthly organized community ride for men led by Ray Arata and Chris Kyle, co-founders of The Ascendant Company. Our 2-hour ride will be followed by a fun and interactive group lunch. We will also lead a brief dynamic discussion before we start the ride, and you'll have time to network with other like-minded men afterward. All cycling levels are welcome. We will gather at the selected meeting spot at 8:45 AM on the scheduled Saturday. We'll return to the starting point for our lunch and connection time. We will be complete by 1:00 pm. This is a FREE event. You simply pay for your own lunch.

We will be riding both single track and fire roads, with a mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced levels of difficulty. We'll explore the powerful metaphor of the mountain bike and the trail mirroring our lives, and how the lessons of the ride can inform our personal and professional journey.
