Tantalize your ears with everything from Blues to Bluegrass! You’ll find yourself hanging out and tapping your clips at our rest areas.


Proceeds Support the Hope Food Bank!
All proceeds collected go directly to the Hope Food Bank and to Youth Outreach Programs in the community. In 19 years, the Hope Ride has raised over $190, 000 through entry fees, t-shirt sales, donations, corporate support, and picking up loose change along the route. None of your money goes to pay for salaries, cars, or fancy offices.


Look Good!
Don't forget to order your Hope Ride T-Shirt! Our special blend of fabrics have been scientifically proven to improve cycling performance by leaps and bounds (a measure nearly equal to cats and dogs).
