($100 is a nice round number!)

I'd like to take a moment to highlight one of my first donors this year: Westpunt Riders Youth Bike Club in Curacao. That's right, Curacao! A HUGE thanks out to Westpunt Riders for their support of my ride, half a world away. :D

About Westpunt Riders:

Mission statement: To provide for the kids of Curacao to gather together and gain biking knowledge and experience.

Started in 2009, this club gives local kids exposure to the many different biking opportunities on Curaçao. From scenic rides, to technical trails, the kids gain a sense of satisfaction as they finish a ride and help maintain the trails. They participate in races, learn sportsmanship, bike safety, get good exercise and gain a sense of camaraderie with the other club members. The bike club creates structure and responsibility for the kids as they learn to work in a group setting. They are trained to wear proper riding clothes, clean and maintain their bikes and to follow safety procedures so they can get the most out of their biking experience.


Older teens help guide tours for riders. We hope to continue nurturing the community and any help is greatly appreciated.


We are looking for a location in Westpunt to build a facility for club meetings and to store the bikes and gear. For donations of land or a storage container please contact David:
