CampoVelo hosted by Chef Chris Cosentino, is a 3-day weekend that blends the best of the culinary world with the cycling and wellness worlds. Chris, along with other Chefs, Pro Cyclists, Winemakers, and Master Sommeliers lead the weekend in a myriad of activities (road biking, mountain biking, hiking and yoga) all designed to benefit local, national beneficiary and global beneficiaries: The Napa Valley Vine Trail, Chefs Cycle for No Kid Hungry and World Bicycle Relief.
April 28th – Ride for Rwanda
What began as a 50th birthday ride in 2006, has evolved into one of the most anticipated and talked-about rides in Southern California. What makes this ride different? First of all, our event is a “ride”, not a race. Riders participate for a lot of reasons: some for the challenge of riding further on a mountain bike than ever before, some because they love the cause, some for the fun of sharing the day with tons of their MTB buddies. Second, our event is a fundraiser. We’ve raised over $1,000,000 in our first 11 events. And we’re just getting started. More Info >
April 28th – 3rd Annual Park to Park Bike Ride
The 3rd Annual Park to Park Bike Ride is a partnership effort of the City of Twentynine Palms, Joshua Tree National Park and Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base to provide a scenic cycling event from Knott’s Sky Park in Twentynine Palms to Key’s View in Joshua Tree National Park and back. A family ride has been added to this year’s event with a shorter route for children and families. More Info >
