There's Only One Hope!
The 20th annual Hope Ride has it all! Great music, wonderful food, exciting scenery, and terrific folks make this ride worth the journey. The Hope Ride provides a festival atmosphere enjoyable for all ages. Enjoy our diverse assortment of musical talents at rest stops along the way. 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).

“Kudos for yet another GREAT event! I don’t know how you pull it off each year with great weather and all. Lunch was probably one of the best since I’ve participated. Plenty of food and drink at all the stops. Sign me up for next year! Thanks so much for all the hard work.”

“I would like to thank you and your staff for a wonderful time. I hadn't been on your ride since 1996 and it was great then but has only improved. The small touches, such as the root beer floats, and the community support really differentiate the Hope Ride.”

“This was our 4th Hope Ride. Each year we have brought more friends. I am not a huge pasta fan, but found the lunch to be very good. The rest of my family who loves pasta thought it was excellent and by far the best food we have had at the Hope Ride.
Another outstanding ride. Keep up the good work.”
Michael Alte

“I had such a fabulous time at the Hope Ride! It was well-organized, but casual and fun too. The route was beautiful and so free of traffic. I've already told several people about the Hope Ride and plan to bring a few of them with me when I do it again next year. Thanks for a great Saturday.”

That ride was the most fun I've had in my entire life!!!! I just recently took up cycling in July, and this was my first ride. I cannot tell you how impressed I was with the entire event. The comfort stations were amazing and well equipped, the lunch was DELICIOUS, and all the epople who served the riders were AWESOME. The riders themselves were a lot of fun too.
THANK YOU for all of your effort.
