    Give us a couple of weeks and you will be adrift in opinions about the NYC-DC Climate Ride. Several of us are doing it for the greater glory (or at least financial benefit) of WABA. Doing it in wine country might be fun however.

    Haha, thanks, dbb! I was thinking I’d still pick WABA and probably Rails to Trails as my charities, maybe others. Hopefully that wouldn’t make me a black sheep out in CA! ;)

    I just heard about it a couple of weeks ago, and since I’m too late for the Sept. NYC-DC ride, I’m considering doing the California ride next May. I’m already going to have some time to travel / move around early next year, so I thought it could be fun to drive across the country with my bike and end up in SF in time for the ride. Plus, that one goes through wine country! :) :D

    Anyway, knowing next to nothing about the Climate Ride aside from what I’ve managed to research in the past few weeks, I’d love some opinions from people who’ve done it or have any direct experience — please share if so!

    Thanks!

    Something about driving your car across the country to participate in Climate Ride seems wrong. :p

    P.S.-Just giving you a hard time…

    I understand there will be a shorter local ride through (or at least to) beer country on the Third Thursday of September

    But, if you raise at least $5000 they will offset your carbon emissions for a year up to 17 tons! At least they are this year. ;)

    Hahahaha touche! It sounds like way more fun than flying out, though! Plus, I’ll probably stay for a while once out there :)
