Beating the heat with an early morning Weekend Ride (WER)! Stay cool out there!

Give a big hand 👏🏼 to our members who braved the heat and climbed to Mt Baldy yesterday with our club supported ride (CSR)! Great job 🔥!!

One of the best parts of PAA and cycling in general is the community you find. Right now, two members of our PAA Cycling family need your help.

Colleen Woo, the 24-year-old daughter of John and Megan Woo, has suffered two back-to-back strokes with resulting brain damage. She is in a semi-awake state and in intense rehabilitation where she is re-learning to stand and move with the hope that she will return to eating, speaking and walking again someday.

Colleen has been in the ICU and hospital for over three months now and will soon be discharged home to her parents. She is going to need a lot of care at home, including 24-hour nursing, a handicap van, rehabilitation and so much more.

If you can, please consider donating (https://gofund.me/adbd82b5). Any amount would be so appreciated. And if you can’t donate, please share our post and the GoFundMe link to help spread the word!
