NorCal Challenge

Healdsburg, CA

August 7 – 11, 2024

The NorCal Cycling Challenge was a true embodiment of CAF’s mission, with participants riding side-by-side with CAF athletes. We were honored to have special guest, Christine Webster, a Healdsburg local and adaptive cyclist, share her passion and deep connection to the area with the peloton. Team USA athlete Bryan Larsen delivered an engaging talk, adding to the event’s excitement. Among the inspiring participants were CAF riders Alfredo Zuany, Drew Asaro, Michelle Pinard (joined by her husband Mike), Steven Phillips, Ed Blumenstock, and Antonia DeMichiel. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our dedicated ride leaders, volunteers, and mechanics who made this incredible event possible!
