Who’s ready to ride into the long weekend?! 🙌🏾

This Saturday is extra special, we’re wrapping up our B-Smart Cycling Club season at Jefferson Leadership Academy in Long Beach, and we’re doing it in style. Our youth riders are hitting the streets for a 10-mile group ride to the lighthouse and back.

These young athletes have put in the work all season and this is their moment to shine. Thank you to our community of supporters, our staff, leadership academy and the youth for showing yup consistently.

Bahati Unpaved hit the Sea Otter Classic, and everyone showed OUT.

From the start line to the finish, our young riders represented and worked hard.
✨Fareed conquered a grueling 21-miler.
✨Camila turned heads in the criterium
✨Noble finished the XC course… then asked to ride it AGAIN.

Our mission at the Bahati Foundation is to provide access, and this is what Play Equity looks like.

“Your support has given Noble the chance not only to compete, but to grow — both as an athlete and as a young man.” — The Jones Family 💚

Huge gratitude to our volunteer chaperones and partners and for making this possible.
