I'm joining what is already 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, the team is back for Trailblaze 3 and I'm excited to join! 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, this group has 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 myself.
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.
This year I pedal in memory of my Nana, who we lost in 2023. If you know a loved one with Alzheimer's or have lost someone yourself, please take a look at the Association and consider donating!
Thank you to all our supporters
