    Landmark Education Graduate Creates Cycling Charity


    Ed Paul’s Alpine Challenge has come along way in eight years. Formed out of Paul’s participation in Landmark Education’s Self-Expression and Leadership Program, this fundraising cycling event through the hills near San Diego has grown from about 70 riders in its first year to almost 700 in 2008. Money raised for the event goes to charities that benefit kids: Half of this year’s proceeds go to a children’s hospital, while the rest goes to a program for at risk youth. Over the eight years since the program began, over $150,000 has been raised for children’s charities.

    Paul’s Alpine Challenge is aptly named. Although the hilly, rural terrain can provide breathtaking views, not many riders may have the energy to enjoy tme. Riders can choose “easy” 20-30 mile courses, while the more difficult courses are 62 or 72 miles each, with an approximate elevation gain of 7,000 feet. Even the 20 mile ride has about a 2,000 foot elevation gain, according to Paul.

    Each of the four courses follows a similar path. The riders start in downtown alpine and go immediately up a hill that takes them around the Viejas Indian Reservation. The 62-mile and 72-mile rides then continue through Harbison Canyon.
