2017 Biking For Baseball Team Ride
The Biking for Baseball team ride of 2017 rolls out of Seattle Washington alongside and in support of Tim’s Big Ride on Opening Day April 10th. Heading south along the West Coast the team will pick up US Highway 101 along the Oregon coastline and into Northern California.
The journey is highlighted by a kids clinics in partnership with a local youth mentoring organization on the morning of April 23rd in the Bay Area. After catching an A’s game on the 23rd the Team Riders will bid Tim farewell and head home as he continues on to hit all 30!
Each rider is charged with personally covering their own ride expenses. So fundraising and donations go entirely to aid in program and outreach costs for Biking for Baseball during the 2016 season. Read about each rider and contribute to their campaign below. If you’d like to join up, sponsor, or help out give us a call! We’d love to add to the team.

Gable Silvian
A late addition to the 2016 Team Ride, Gable Silvian jumped right into the deep end of the B4B pool with a cruiser bike and skate shoes. And boy did he kill it! A skilled filmmaker and cat dad, gable is a Michigan native who definitely earned the title of B4B’er the hard way.

Tom Kolicko
Tom, or TK as he’s sometimes known, (not because of his initials, but because he’s Tele-Kinetic) is a young documentary filmmaker with a whole mess of charity-bike-films under his belt. Tom did Matt’s 2015 ride video and is on the team in 2017 to do a little less shooting and a little more riding!

Eric Palencia
Eric is Cory’s big, LITTLE brother. A new addition to the team in 2017 Eric is like every B4B’er ramping up to their first ride; young, confident, headstrong, and unprepared. He’s going to do great and we’re going to have a great time watching.
