GAP and C&O Canal Trail Ride
Outstanding ride with excellent ride support. Route was amazing with more car free miles than I’ve ever experienced on one ride. Paths were in very good condition and early signs of fall colors added to the experience with the cooling late summer temperatures.

Green Fondo Northern California
I was nervous to participate because I’m a slow cyclist and I hate hills! Training for the ride gave me discipline and endurance, and yes, I got faster and stronger, which is great. But on the weekend of the ride, I realized that was not very important. Absolutely no one cared who was slow or […]

Death Valley Ride
I have never felt more challenged, accepted, well-fed, connected to the earth, tired, energized, and transformed than I did after the Death Valley Climate Ride; often, I felt these feelings all at once. I am grateful for this experience; I’ll never, ever forget it.
