Local Boston Cyclists On Epic Journey For Good

Written by Boston Biker on Feb 18

Got this awesome bit of news in the mail today, my boy Greg is going on an epic journey, click the images below to help him out!

——————-

Shalom!

We, Bianca Pettinicchi and Gregory Ralich, are preparing to embark on the biggest journey of our lives. One week after we graduate we will be riding our bicycles from Boston to San Francisco. It’s been a goal of both of ours for quite a while and it is really coming to fruition.

+++

We are using the interest generated by our trip to raise awareness and money for the Autism Society of America.

We are writing to you because we are now beginning to seek out support in the form of sponsorship, hugs, kisses, couches, showers, gear, and love!

Bianca’s bike will be featured at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show at the end of February; while there we will have the opportunity to link up with thousands of bicycle friendly individuals, groups, and organizations. Geekhouse Bikes, Gregory’s place of work, has allowed us access to mailer and marketing solutions galore. Lastly, we will keep a blog and photo journal of our trip.

We are very grateful for all that has been provided to us enabling this getaway. We are graduating this Spring; we’re at a point in our lives where nothing but opportunity abounds. Life isn’t so easy for those who work and live with Autism and help is needed now.


Our goal is: MA to CA in 100 days. We know that this is going to be an enlightening, grueling, sweaty, and fascinating trip and we want to share it with as many people as possible. We have made a blog and we will be sharing photos and more for those who want to follow us the whole way.


We hope that people will donate anything anything anything to the ASA but to tie it all together we ask that you donate $1, $10, or $100 or a penny, dime, or dollar for every day that we will be out on the open road sharing, exploring, and learning.

++

In the planning process we conveniently linked up with other “bike geeks” at Geekhouse Bikes in Allston, MA.


Geekhouse is a local, sustainable, and very cool bespoke bicycle manufacturer in Boston. Gregory is currently winding up his career at Suffolk with an internship there and the chance to work together to make a difference for those in need was too good to pass up.

==

So- now that you know all about us we want to hear from you. Do you know someone who’s done a ride like this before? Do you have any ideas or input on how we should conduct our outreach? What about spandex- do you know anything about good spandex:) ?

We hope that you’ll enjoy getting updates from us leading up to the trip and we aim to get out one e-mail/month to this list as we prepare to leave. You can always opt out f receiving these updates by clicking SafeUnsubscribe at the bottom of this page.

Thanks for your support,

Gregory and Bianca
