This is a ride like no other! Outdoor challenges change lives, and Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra is doing just that through their year-round program of winter and summer sports for athletes with physical and cognitive disabilities. The freedom and exhilaration that is felt after skiing the top of a mountain, cycling over a rugged pass or catching a Sierra trout is unrivaled!

I need your help! The funds that I raise for The Sierra Cycle Challenge go directly toward supporting students with individualized instruction and adaptive equipment, so they can enjoy the same sports that you do. Your donations will allow a paraplegic to enjoy Nordic sports, an autistic student to take her first runs at Mammoth Mountain or a Wounded Warrior to remember that life is still worth living.

My Goal: Raise at least $1,200 Please help me reach my goal with a tax-deductible donation to Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra. I’ll be cycling my way through the Eastern Sierra for three days and thinking of all my supporters as I pedal and climb my way over the hills!

Day One: Mammoth Lakes to Falls Creek Ranch: 55 miles, 1,500 ft. elevation gain!
Day Two: Benton Hot Springs to Grant Lake: 60 miles, 3,600 ft. elevation gain!
Day Three: Grant Lake to Mammoth Lakes: 35 miles, 2,900 ft. elevation gain!
