Our team is still beaming from the fun we had recently hosting The Lime Challenge @ RBC. At the in-person ride, a slight mist and fog quickly evolved into a sunny and beautiful day. Riders demonstrated grit completing the ride on the beautiful RBC courses, and were rewarded for their efforts with MOD pizza, a cold Bike Lane Brewery beer, and lots of thanks at our Lime Challenge After Party at The Bike Lane. We’ve seen our Virtual Riders work hard over the past month as well, logging a ton of miles in their hometowns. Whether we saw you in person in Virginia, or if you participated from afar, we are truly thankful for you taking a ride to rebrand disability with us. This new format partnering with the Reston Bike Club has been a great success, so plan on joining us next August for The Lime Challenge 2025! Donations this year have been strong with your generous efforts so far - yet we are still a few gifts short of our 2024 fundraising goal to provide 15 new scholarships this year! Help us reach more students with disabilities by making a donation and/or sharing your Facebook fundraiser today via the link below.
