Bikes For Bluejays
Presented By Lake Gaston Outfitters
Annual ride through quiet country roads around Littleton NC
All proceeds fund bikes to students of Littleton Academy, in Littleton NC.
Bikes For Bluejays is a different cycling event - it doesn't just raise funds to provide bikes & helmets to students at Littleton Academy. The bikes come with strings attached - the students attend eight classes provided by a certified instructor from Lake Gaston Outfitters, covering the fundamentals of riding skills & safety that we hope will foster an appreciation for the bikes and develop a passion for cycling!
Littleton Academy offers a world-class education to a diverse group of children throughout its service area, almost all of whom receive scholarships and other income-based financial assistance to help offset the cost of tuition.
Our 2024 ride was made possible by you, the participants, and our business sponsors - Thank you all!
