A New Chapter for #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge

Plume is pleased to announce that the #PlumeStrong Cycling Challenge (#PSCC), including all associated fundraising activities, has been officially transferred to one of Plume’s long-term partners Polka Dot Cycling (Polka Dot).

Miha Kofjač, the founder and owner of Polka Dot, Tadeja Kofjač, the CEO, and the team have been an integral part of #PSCC since its inception, playing a crucial role in building the brand and delivering an exceptional experience for our cycling community.

For 2025, the ride will now be known as the Polka Dot Cycling Challenge 2025 (PDCC2025). PDCC2025 will take place in Spain in September 2025, as Plume previously announced. For detailed information and updates, please visit the Polka Dot website.

While Polka Dot will now lead the event’s organization, Plume will remain a proud presenting partner and continue to provide full support. Polka Dot is committed to maintaining the event’s mission, especially in supporting underprivileged children to help them achieve a brighter future, and will do so in close cooperation with Street Child. Street Child is an international charity working to ensure every child has access to education, especially in low-resource and crisis-affected areas. We have been proud to work with them for a number of years and will continue to support their charitable endeavors and programs.

As we make this transition we also want to update you on the progress of Plume’s recent #PlumeStrong fundraising initiatives:

· The Aslam Selim Anatolian High School in Adiyaman, Turkey, funded in part through #PSCC23, officially opened in January 2025.

· The Ron Brown Venture Lab program, part of the Ron Brown Scholar Program, officially launched in February 2025. The Lab was supported by the proceeds from the #PlumeStrong Gala Philanthropic Dinner held in California in October 2024.

· Through our work with our charity partner Street Child, the construction of 20 schools in Sierra Leone is progressing as planned – most of the school locations are already selected and some construction works are already in place.

We hope to see you riding in Spain with the Polka Dot Cycling Challenge, alongside world-champion Tadej Pogačar and other passionate cycling enthusiasts. If you can’t make it to the ride there are other ways to support the Polka Dot Cycling Challenge - find out how to get involved HERE.
