Trailblaze 3

By Trailblaze 3 Join Me

We're making an annual tradition out of exploring the country on two wheels. After riding New York's Empire State Trail in 2024 and Pennsylvania's Great Allegheny Passage in 2025, we're back for Trailblaze 3. This year we're heading west and taking on 300 miles of gravel across Washington state along the Palouse to Cascades Trail.

Over the past two years, we've raised more than $50,000 for the American Brain Tumor Association and the Boys & Girls Club of Oakland. This year, we're hoping to top that in support of the Alzheimer's Association, with some extra horsepower from our new joiners: Kc, Max, Mike, and James.

Thanks for following along, cheering us on, and, if you're able, supporting a cause that's well worth a few hundred miles of dusty pedaling.
