The Bodacious Biking Babes are riding this fundraiser in honor of Sandy Cole, a member of our team who lost her battle last year with a rare form of leukemia often associated with breast cancer treatment. A dear friend and an inspiration, we miss Sandy so very much and we are looking forward to riding in her honor. She reminded us to take the high road, the slow road, and the road less travelled.
Join us physically, mentally or spiritually.
The Crush Challenge, hosted by the deLeuze Family Charitable Foundation and ZD Wines, is an unparalleled event in the Napa Valley, bringing together people from all over the country to join us in supporting our beneficiaries.
Experience the beauty of Napa Valley on a private cycling excursion (27- or 38-mile options) that will depart from Veterans Memorial Park in Yountville. Pass through vineyard-lined avenues, sharing the road with cycling pros and friends of Crush Challenge (previous pros: Freddie Rodriguez, Alison Tetrick, Alex Steida, Brent and Jamie Bookwalter, Levi Leipheimer, and Christian Vande Velde).
Sandy loved this area and we always indulged her in her birthday rides in wine country. Let the birthday rides continue as we remember her beautiful spirit!

Experience the beauty of Napa Valley on a private cycling excursion (25- or 37-mile options) that will depart from Veterans Memorial Park in Yountville. Pass through vineyard-lined avenues, sharing the road with cycling pros and friends of Crush Challenge (previous pros: Freddie Rodriguez, Alison Tetrick, Alex Steida, Brent and Jamie Bookwalter, Levi Leipheimer, and Christian Vande Velde). Enjoy a “rest stop” at ZD Wines in Rutherford to imbibe in the barrel tasting and food bites.
Following the ride, indulge in the all-inclusive Food & Wine Marketplace with live music paired with delicious food and wine from Napa Valley restaurants and wineries to round out the afternoon.
Crush Challenge was established in 2014 as a way to showcase the best of Napa Valley while bringing awareness and funding to a select group of worthy charities.
We welcome you to join on August 26 to enjoy a harvest day in the beautiful Napa Valley while helping our deserving beneficiaries: UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Teen Center at Boys & Girls Clubs of Napa Valley. 100% of our net proceeds will go to these charities.
