Brita Climate Ride will return for its fourth year this May 13-17, 2011,
and will once again see hundreds of cyclists pedal beautiful country
roads 300 miles from New York City to Washington, DC to raise awareness
of renewable energy and the climate crisis. This “climate conference on
wheels” and fully-supported adventure raises funds for a collection of
nine hardworking non-profits including 350.org,
Washington Area Bicyclist Coalition, Green America, Rails-to-Trails
Conservancy, and 1Sky. Brita Climate Ride is the first multi-day,
multi-city charitable bicycle ride to address climate change and
renewable energy issues. The event also endeavors to showcase the
bicycle as the ultimate carbon-free machine and a viable form of
transportation. Climate Ride will also return to California on October
2-6, 2011. This gorgeous 5-day, 320-mile ride along California’s
spectacular coast begins in the Redwood Empire near Eureka and finishes
across the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco. Participants can
currently register for either ride online at www.climateride.org.
