New Belgium Cruiser!

2013 California Climate Riders, one of you will ride home on a New Belgium Cruiser bicycle! Donated by the cool folks over at New Belgium Brewing Company, makers of Fat Tire Amber Ale, this sweet ride kicks off our fundraising challenge! To become the envy of all your friends and pedal away on this sa-weet bike, your fundraising must first be at or above $2,400 by April 1st. Then, the rider who raises the most money throughout the month of April (4/1 through 4/30) will be awarded this fabulous bicycle on the ride! 

Can't you feel the awesomeness of that victory lap around camp on the ride already?!  We're as excited as you are!

Trick-out-my-bike Package

Two winners will roll away with a $250 gift certificate to the fabulous Sports Basement in San Francisco to splurge on bike parts, accessories, and other fun stuff! Just be the top fundraiser during the last week leading up to the ride OR the top fundraiser during the ride.

Carbon Offsets for the year if you raise $5,000+!

Climate Ride, through our work with Clearsky Climate Solutions, has been able to offset the carbon footprint of every Climate Ride event. But here's the exciting part: by fundraising a little more, you can offset your carbon emissions for the entire year! Your house, your electricity, your heating, your commute, your food. All of it.
