Noah Sideman Tackles Gravel Grinder Races for BIAPA

October 16, 2025

Riding for Health, Hope & Healing

For the past six months, BIAPA board member Noah Sideman has been riding in Gravel Grinder races throughout central Pennsylvania to raise awareness and support for brain injury prevention, education, advocacy, and recovery services. He concluded his 2025 series with the UnPAved of the Susquehanna Valley race. Thanks to contributions from family, friends and bicycle enthusiasts, he raised over $1,000 for BIAPA. As if riding in a challenging gravel grinder race wasn’t enough, Noah also hosted a BIAPA booth at the Lewisburg Fall Fest the day before the race. Known for their challenging gravel routes and incredible community spirit, participating in the Gravel Grinder races enabled Noah to combine his passion for cycling with his dedication to BIAPA’s mission. His determination and energy truly embody what it means to ride for help, hope, and healing.
