Gear Up New York 2026

My Gear Up New York Journey!

Hello everyone! My name is Bodie Bashford, and I am a third-year student at CSU Long Beach. This summer, I am dedicating my time to serving others on one of The Ability Experience's cycling events called Gear Up New York. I will be joining a team that will travel across the Empire State from Niagara Falls to Manhattan in order to spread our message of empathy and acceptance for our friends with disabilities! We will meet with dozens of organizations that support people with disabilities along the way.

Please help me support The Ability Experience and this mission by making a donation through this page. The process is fast, easy and secure. Thanks so much for your support!!

I will be posting blog updates soon, so come back to this page to see how my training is progressing.

Hello everyone!
Thank you so much to those of you who have donated. I am so grateful for all who have believed in me and this philanthropy.

As of today, I have trained 700 miles on the bike. I leave for New York in just under two weeks, and I plan to get as many miles on the bike as I can before I leave. If you'd like to follow my progress, you are welcome to follow me on Strava:

Thank you again for the donations! I will be posting more updates as I prepare for this event, and again when I am on the road in New York!

Thank you to my donors
