HMC’s Robert Young and Jason Cochran are architects working, living and bike commuting in Southern California. After biking to HMC Architects for the past four years, they decided to plan their big ride from San Francisco to Malibu—a five-day, 450-mile journey down the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway. They’re dedicating this ride to the folks in Lamas, Peru who suffered a catastrophic earthquake. With the help of Architecture For Humanity, LALESA Inc is working with the community in Lamas to rebuild a cultural center. This cultural center, with its focus on music and preserving the indigenous language, will help the community by creating a space where the local people can come together and share and learn about their common ancestral experiences.

All proceeds collected from the bike ride will be donated to the Lamas Cultural Center project through Architecture for Humanity, Los Angeles.

Jason and Robert’s journey begins August 27 at the San Francisco Cliff House and culminates on September 1 at the Chart House in Malibu. They’re riding about 90 miles each day and staying with friends or in hotels along the way.
