There are certain days that don’t feel like events. They feel like something you step into.
Hola Mahalla has always been one of those days.
This film follows Sikh Cycling Club’s annual ride to the Hola Mahalla celebrations at Bradshaw Gurdwara in Sacramento, and the deeper meaning behind why we ride.
Hola Mahalla, established by Guru Gobind Singh, is a celebration of readiness—physical, mental, and spiritual.
For Sikh cyclists, this idea of readiness extends beyond the spiritual into how we show up physically, together, and with intention. Sikh Cycling Club rides throughout the year, drawing inspiration from Sikh history, events, and concepts that call for presence, discipline, and Chardi Kala.
This annual Hola Mahalla ride to Bradshaw Gurdwara has become one of those moments.
What began as a small group ride in California has grown into a shared movement, with riders across different cities and countries riding in spirit and carrying the same intention forward.

From California to the world.
