Climate Ride Accepts New Beneficiaries and Continues Adding Beneficiaries on a Rolling Basis

Thanks to the feedback and encouragement from riders-participants, Climate Ride implemented a new beneficiary structure which allows us to have a big impact on the sustainability movement.

So now is the time to join the ride to keep the sustainability movement going strong! See below for information on half price registration this week only 8/1 through 8/7...

In the past week we have added several amazing non-profits working on sustainability, renewable energy, climate education and bike advocacy. These groups are working on a host of national and local issues.

Please welcome and get to know:
Sierra Club California
Alliance for Biking and Walking
Grist
Acterra

Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition
Renewable Energy Long Island

And there is still time to nominate and support new beneficiaries for the upcoming Climate Ride California 2011.

A View of the Future and Lunch!

We’re happy to announce that - on the Pre-Ride Package day from San Francisco to Fortuna – we’ll stopping half-way at the beautiful Solar Living Institute in Hopland, CA, for a terrific picnic lunch!

Established in 1998 by the founder of the Real Goods Trading Company, John Schaeffer, the Solar Living Institute is a non-profit solar training organization that promotes sustainable living through inspirational environmental education. It’s also a relaxing location dotted with working solar panels and sustainable gardens. Our box lunches are not only delicious and organic, but are fully compostable, including the box and utensils!
