(3BL Media / theCSRfeed) August 2, 2011 - It's time to saddle up and ride! 

Looking for a chance to ride your bike in a great place for a good cause?  Interested in pushing the limits of your endurance with like-minded teammates?  Then Climate Ride California is right for you!    After two years of supporting Climate Ride as a nonprofit partner, Climate Counts is proud to be among the 17 beneficiaries of the 2011 East and West coast, multi-day Climate Ride cycling events. The next ride on the docket will be Climate Ride California, October 2 – 6, 2011, and we need YOU to be a Climate Rider for Climate Counts.    From the Climate Ride website: “Climate Ride California is a gorgeous cycling adventure that begins in California's historic Redwood Empire near Eureka, travels along the scenic coast and ventures into the famed Russian River Valley before crossing the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco. Climate Ride California is more than a bike trip – it’s an inspiring journey with like-minded people who are united by their passion for sustainability, renewable energy, and bicycles - the ultimate carbon-free form of transportation.”   All riders are required to pay a $75 registration fee* and raise $2,400.  You can be as creative as you need to be with your fundraising -- it can come from corporate sponsorships, a rich uncle, your yearly vacation fund, or all your friends on Facebook!    There are many ways to support Climate Counts in this effort:

  • Ride as an individual and choose Climate Counts as your fundraising beneficiary

  • Join a pre-existing team and choose Climate Counts as your fundraising beneficiary

  • Help us create our own Climate Counts team to raise funds

  • Forget the bike and simply donate to the cause!
