The ride is being conducted to basically raise funds for a nonprofit organization Push America, dedicated to working for individuals with disabilities.

Claiborne admitted that the idea for the ride somehow dint come from him and was suggested to him by a member of his fraternity. The 24 year old cyclist is also a student with Cal State Long Beach along with being a member of Pi Kappa Phi, which is a fraternity that runs Push America.

However this ride is going to be quite different than the rest since it will include gear changes, switching the mountain bicycle with a rode bicycle. The aerodynamic advantage and weight for both differs quite a lot.
