Testimonials

Grassroots advocacy and policy work takes a tremendous mental and emotional toll on nonprofit leaders. Having the opportunity to join Climate Ride on their Big Sur ride as a result of their Community Award was the best thing for my organization’s success in 2019! Riding with like-minded advocates, environmentalists, and value-driven individuals was refreshing, rewarding, […]

I had a fantastic time riding and dancing to a RAD band at the Green Fondo 2019! Hope there are more to come!

Finding Climate Ride has been like finding family! A family that reinforces your efforts for the environment and inspires further action.

Inspirational, yes, but Climate Ride is more than that. It challenges you to do – not just to do the ride, but to change your ways, to advocate for sustainability, to connect with others, to let your guard down and learn, experience and internalize.

I moved to the US in 2017 to be with my wife. We met together on a cycling trip in my home country Cambodia in 2012. She was a tourist and I was her tour guide! Being in the US now is so much different from my home in Cambodia. I never knew how people […]

I had an incredible experience at Green Fondo! Green Fondo was my first Climate Ride. I enjoyed 2-day rides w/ spectacular views, routes (yes, wind was the beast :), meeting great Climate Riders & Climate Ride staff and raising awareness and doing something towards Climate Change & environmental issues. Secondarily, I was very impressed by […]

Each event has been impeccably well organized and supported, and the staff is […]

The rafting company chose the most magnificent locations for our tents and provided everything we needed to enjoy ourselves at […]

The Climate Ride in Bear’s Ears National Monument was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on! Everybody who participates in the ride is really passionate about climate advocacy and it is a great opportunity to meet life-long friends from all walks of life.

I love Climate Ride – genuinely great people doing imperative work with passion and professionalism!

Not sure I want to write a testimonial, purely for selfish reasons. I’d hate to see the event fill up before I get a chance to register and get left out. … I guess that’s my testimonial :).

When my son and daughter-in-law invited me to participate in the Climate Ride and raise money to support energy/sustainability/biking & transportation and Bike Santa Cruz County, it was easy to say yes. However, when the reality of cycling almost 350 miles and close to 17,000 feet of climbing hit, my fear and anxiety increased. At […]
