I’m Michele Chavez, a member of the High Desert Cyclists, a regional affiliate of the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, as well as a member of Bicycle John’s Lancaster’s Caffe Racers.

I started riding in 2005 as cross training for running. Since then, my interest in cyclist has gone from just for exercise to riding to do errands and leaving my car at home to riding to combat climate change. This year, I’m participating in the ClifBar Two Mile Challenge to support the Alliance for Biking and Walking. I also rode 30 Days of Biking in April and will again in September.

The focus of this blog is on promoting cycling in the Antelope Valley, both recreationally and for transportation.
