All of the Climate Rides that I have done have been so magical. Climate Ride takes such good care of their participants, the places we visit and the world around us. The work that goes on behind the scenes is extraordinary. From the encouragement of the CR team for fundraising, the can-do and let’s make […]

Climate Ride is a great organization! Having fun cycling while raising money for Climate Change. I found all the riders to be wonderful people, with interesting vocations, committing time and money to something I likewise care about. Wonderful way to spend vacation time!

The Climate Ride’s NorCal Green Fondo is an incredible and empowering event to participate in. This is the 4th year that my son and I have joined this event and each year it gets better and better. The collective action of so many people coming together and biking at the same time in the same […]

This was my first Climate Ride and first organized ride, and it was a great experience! I would highly recommend Green Fondo as a first event! It was empowering to meet so many amazing people who care about the environment and bike advocacy. I felt the joy and energy of the community, and I hope […]

For nearly 50 years I’ve been dreaming about cycling self-contained cross-country. When I learned that Climate Ride could provide the fundraising platform and expertise, it sealed the deal. Climate Ride supported my adventure and allowed me to be a good example to my grandkids and a good ancestor to them and future generations to come […]

Participating in the Climate Ride is one of the most meaningful things I do each year. It allows me to use my passion for a purpose = raising critical funds and awareness for a cleaner, greener future. It’s not just about the miles; it’s about the momentum we build together to tackle climate change, protect […]

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.

It’s difficult to fully express how life-changing and impactful the Glacier to Banff experience was for me. While I’ve been an active cyclist for several years and have led many social rides during my time at the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, this was – believe it or not – my first organized group ride as […]

To me riding my bike has been not only a path of genuine liberation, but also a revolutionary guide in learning about the land we all live on. In my life of adventures I’ve experienced the most profound joy and definitely the deepest pits of fear. Cycling around the world has given me the life […]

Climate Ride Cuba was a wonderful event, especially the part where we brought basic needs gifts to the Cuban people. Cuba is the greatest untapped paradise I have visited in all my worldwide travels.

Riding through the Idaho back country with Climate Ride was my first ever multi-day biking trip and it far exceeded my expectations. I wanted to get out in nature, experience the landscape by bicycle and push myself physically. With the support of Climate Ride I was able to do this! I was nowhere near experienced […]

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 […]
