Community Leader Green Fondo 2023
“About two years ago, I committed to riding my bike to work instead of commuting by car. This commitment helped me rediscover my passion for cycling, sparked a new phase in my environmental activism, and opened the door to opportunities like the Climate Ride. The Green Fondo weekend rides were some of the most challenging, exciting, and fulfilling rides of my life. I was smiling nearly the entire time soaking in the beauty of my surroundings and the support of the like-minded community. I went home with a full heart, new connections, and a thrilling desire to do it again! I am eternally grateful. Thank you. “
“The Green Fondo NorCal was my very first experience being part of a cycling event. From a young age, I’ve always been drawn to bikes, but it was only after moving to the beautiful CA Bay Area that I saw people who looked like me on bikes. It always felt like an elitist, competitive, and exclusive club so I was pleasantly surprised at how inclusive and welcoming the Climate Ride community was.
