StarCycle Santa Barbara, the city’s first dedicated spin studio, is living up to its name with their first annual Under the Stars twilight ride. On September 7, 36 of their bikes will be parked outside their La Cumbre Plaza studio for a night of riding and revelry for a good cause. All proceeds from tickets will be donated to the humanitarian aid organization, Direct Relief.
“We believe it's important to give back to our community,” event coordinator, Lori Baur, said. The four owners of StarCycle Santa Barbara, Dani Stone, Lara Mack, Kayla Neal, and George Tharakan decided that Direct Relief would be the perfect choice for the first non-profit they’re sponsoring.
“We selected Direct Relief as our charity for the inaugural Under the Stars event because they are such an efficient, local non-profit with a global reach, and we felt they perfectly aligned with our objectives of supporting health in the world,” Baur said.
