Follow our journey.
Sunday funday!! Sunday service, good people, good vibes, come ride!
Let’s ride...
Snoqualmie Valley Trail and the Iron Horse Trail are on occupied sdukʷalbixʷ (Snoqualmie) land, specifically the homelands of the Snoqualmie people. To understand the legacy of settler colonialism is to also understand the countermovement process of learning from reflecting on our own experiences, Paulo Freire calls this way of learning “praxis”. In academia its called Cross-Movement Solidarity. BlackLivesMatter. Mobility Justice. Environmental Justice. Healing Justice. It’s solidarity centered on black and brown communities in order to transcend systems of oppression and violence. To add to the value, there’s no such thing as neutral education. Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom. Education is inherently political and revolutionary. Personally, I find this to be a liberating idea. Once you understand this, you can abandon the futile attempt to be completely neutral and unbiased.
I would ask then, “Do I let the #s on Strava, my route, or the object between your legs define, navigate, and create my opportunity to guide my growth!.... or do I leverage it? Am I looking for what I don’t know... or learn, and be willing to still DO to have it as WE want it?
I am only the messenger... but willing to join you for the ride/reading/listening journey.
Ride out 10am from library... at NorthBend. Tomorrow, and thereafter weekly. Where to... and how far.. wherever our courage leads us....as short as an 1hr, or as long as the journey and our legs/minds take us.
In honor of Harriet Tubman, one of the greatest freedom fighters that ever has been, i am inspired... to ride not only as strangers through our own land endlessly, but also through the paradigm shift to see in modern times, as the great Frederick Douglass has asked... “in moments of agony, I envied my fellow-slaves for their stupidity. I have often wished myself a beast. I preferred the condition of the meanest reptile to my own. Any thing, no matter what, to get rid of thinking! It was this everlasting thinking of my condition that tormented me. There was no getting rid of it. It was pressed upon me by every object within sight....
Come get this work!! Wednesday night ride! Fast paced, you might get dropped! Push yourself! Let’s go!!! #northstarcycling

Happy 16th birthday to @fastestintown !!
We are so blessed to have you rolling with our crew. Your smile and energy are unmatched and has given us at Northstar a purpose. You motivate us, you push us but you do it all with love. Your progression into cycling has been rapid, it was only a few months ago you ditched the sweatpants and dove into world of Lycra. We are excited to witness everything you achieve - cuz like a young nas once said ‘the world is yours.’
Much love Trevon ❤️❤️❤️

Last Saturday, North Star Cycling participated in its first race - around the wilderness of Bremerton for 80 miles and Over 5,000 ft of climbing!
North Star Showed out. Each one of these brave souls finished it, even though it took climbing mountains on and off bikes, surfing across ponds and walking across baby lakes. We’re so proud of @fastestintown @kace__adilla @truongwin_ & DeVaughn representing NorthStar.
Hopefully in the future we will have more riders join the fun, but this is just the beginning. When you see North Star, give us a shoutout! ✊🏾
