Testimonials

The whole Climate Ride experience was transformative. I can’t stop thinking about it; how lucky I am to have been a part of it.

Climate Ride offered an amazing experience, an opportunity to enjoy great company, nature, fresh air, scenery, one’s own body and all this for a good cause.

Thanks for the well-marked and scenic route, for having a crew that seemed to magically appear at all the right moments, and for a lineup of informative and passionate speakers. My beneficiaries are delighted and my cyclist friends are jealous. But most importantly my time spent getting to know you and making new friends from […]

Life-changing, inspiring, one of the major peaks of my life.

This is the experience of a lifetime. Not only are we doing something active about sustainability and climate change, but the experience of doing something so challenging and with so many other people created connections and interchanges that I’ll remember my whole life.

I’ll definitely be on the Climate Ride California again next year…the best 5 days I’ve ever had on a bike, and I spend a lot of days on bikes!

If you’re considering doing a Climate Ride, or questioning whether you have the physical ability to do it—I’d say to you, “If I can do it, you can do it.” I’m not a competitive cyclist; I rode on a hybrid bike, not a fancy road bike. You’ll be welcomed, you’ll be encouraged, and you’ll enjoy […]

Thanks again for the best organized trip I have ever been on! The hospitality and organizational skills of the Climate Ride team cannot be surpassed. Thank you and the team so much for making the trip educational, memorable, gorgeous, and very, very fun.
