Join the National Bike Ride to Support Climate and Energy Solutions

The nation's largest environmental charity bike ride and "climate conference on wheels" comes to California! After two years on the East Coast, Climate Ride debuts Climate Ride California 2010 this September 21-25, 2010. Two hundred cyclists will pedal beautiful country roads 300 miles along California's rugged northern coast from Eureka to San Francisco to raise awareness of clean energy, the climate crisis, and pedal power. This fully-supported adventure raises funds for Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, Green America, and 1Sky.

Climate Ride is the first multi-day, multi-city bicycle ride to address climate issues and highlight renewable energy solutions. The event also showcases that the bicycle is the ultimate carbon-free machine and a viable form of transportation. Registration includes your own personal fundraising web page and training/logistical support. The 5-day ride includes campsites, luggage transfer, road support, meals, bike mechanics, bike guides and a nightly expert speaker series. Each rider fundraises $2400 to participate and has access to a nationwide network of Climate Riders. Ride is open to 200 cyclists. Participants can register online at www.climateride.org.
