Bikepacking for Bahati Foundation

On Thursday (July 2) is my 41st birthday and I like to test myself. So I've decided to really go for it and ride the Tour de Los Padres bikepacking route as fast as I can on my mountain bike. It is 410+km(260+ miles) and 34k+ ft of climbing. I hope to do it in one solo and self supported effort of around 30hrs. I've also set a goal to use this ride as an opportunity to raise money and awareness for the Bahati Foundation. They serve to help give inner city youths of Los Angeles an opportunity in outdoor recreation via the bicycle. They have also recently started an initiative 'Motion Equals Health" that exposes them to STEM and STREAM educational opportunities through eSports and Coding events and activities. My goal is to raise $4100 to go along with it being my 41st time around the sun. Please consider donating.
