For those wishing to observe Yom Kippur but still participate in Climate Ride, please email us at info@climateride.org for details about an arrangement we are working on with UPenn’s Yom Kippur service.

We are aware that Climate Ride coincides with Yom Kippur in 2009. In no way was our date selection intended to offend or disregard Jewish activists or cyclists. Climate Ride dates are constricted by Senate and Congressional schedules, clement fall weather, and availability at our camping areas. We hope that members of the Jewish faith understand our limited choice and will join us this year or next year when Yom Kippur is 10 days prior to Climate Ride.
