@cycling_embassy "The Dutch are the most physically active on earth, on average getting 12.8 hours of exercise per week... Good infrastructure in the Netherlands plays a big role in how active they are, as the average resident cycles more than 1,000 kilometers per year."

Sarah Weiffenbach is setting out on an epic 700+ miles bike-packing independent challenge on the Mountain-to-Sea Trail in North Carolina. Starting this month, Sarah will be section-biking through the three regions of North Carolina. She will experience the Blue Ridge and Appalachian Mountains, the plateau of gentle hills through Piedmont, and then finish in September 2023 in the Coastal Plains. We chatted with her about her preparation and more before she sets out on her adventure! Check it out through the link in our bio!

What our participants have to say

I learned so much from the people I met, listened to when they spoke about the organizations they represented, shared meals with, rode with, laughed with and drank with. The Climate Ride staff were amazing, always there, super organized, supportive and encouraging. I will miss all of my new friends and our shared riding adventure. Thank you all again for your love and support. Can’t wait to do another Climate Ride next year!

Climate Ride did an excellent job accommodating my eating needs and I truly cannot thank you enough. It meant the world to me that I could just arrive on site and eat like everyone else. The Climate Ride team made it truly seamless and I am so very grateful. Thank you for an awesome experience. I felt beyond supported, encouraged and inspired.
