Every Mile Supports Youth Cycling

When you register for the Black Farm Tour, you're not just signing up for a ride. You're putting helmets on kids' heads. You're funding bike maintenance. You're making it possible for young people to discover what they're capable of when someone believes in them.

"I never thought I could ride 100 miles. But my team believed in me, and I believed in them. We did it together. Now I know I can do anything."

— Talib, Triangle Bikeworks Teen
