In the spring Triangle Bikeworks was approached about putting together a youth cyclocross team. At the time we had no idea what exactly cyclocross racing was and what it entailed. We were mainly excited by the possibility of finding another avenue to get youth on bikes and outdoors.
In the 1800s, an estimated 100,000 people learned the meaning of freedom by way of the Underground Railroad. This summer, 10 high school students from Chapel Hill and their four chaperones will follow that same path to learn their own meaning of freedom, but they'll do so from the seat of a bike.
The NPS National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program, the Interpretation and Education Division, Youth Programs Office, and the Office of Public Health have partnered with Spoke 'N Revolutions Youth Cycling to take a group of diverse high school students from Chapel Hill, NC on an 1800 mile ride along the Underground Railroad.
