My 2021 Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal

Last December I challenged myself and all of you to set a substantial goal for 2021. It took me a couple months to iron out some final details but I am finally excited to share my 2021 BHAG…

On May 22, 2021 my friend and I will be departing from Provincetown and riding 260+ miles across the full length of Massachusetts to fundraise and raise awareness for Bikes Not Bombs.

In their own words: “Bikes Not Bombs uses the bicycle as a vehicle for social change to achieve economic mobility for Black and other marginalized people in Boston and the Global South.”

They are an incredible organization that has truly had a profound and positive impact in the world.

Bicycles have been a passion of mine my whole life and have been a positive influence for me physically, mentally and emotionally. This 260-mile ride across Massachusetts is my homage to cycling and everything it has given me. I’m really proud to be doing it in support of Bikes Not Bombs.

If you’re able to give and would like to support us you can donate over at our GoFundMe here. At the very least I hope you check out Bikes Not Bombs and then go get on a bike yourself!

I’ll be checking in periodically with updates on fundraising and training. I hope you’ll follow along. If you’ve set a BHAG for yourself, I’d love to hear about it and if there’s any way I can help you achieve your goal let me know! Good luck!
