Shortly after, they will fly to Nepal to begin their efforts in earnest.On April 25, the mountainous region in southeast Asia suffered a severe earthquake, killing an estimated 8,000 and injuring another 21,000.
The project is the brainchild of Julie Cornelius. After meeting a filmmaker, the idea began to congeal. She chose Sedona as the place to start their campaign because it “is the best mountain biking area.
“It’s all of our favorite place to ride …. We thought the mountain bike festival was a good place to kick it off, especially given when we were planning on leaving,” she said. “We’re working on an event where people can ride the bikes that we are going to be riding and we’ll do a meet and greet.”
As for choosing Nepal as the destination, it had already been on Cornelius’ radar as a biking destination before the earthquake.
“The trails were, in general, known for hiking, but mountain biking has started to grow …. We’re actually hoping to meet up with one of the up-and-coming female mountain bikers there,” she said.Five women will arrive at Kathmandu and ride through Langtang Valley before arriving at the village of Kyanjin Gomba to aid local relief workers.
