Team LACBC: Pacific Northwest Conquers the Hills!

Team LACBC is hitting the Pacific Northwest this August for a four-day journey of a lifetime!

Riders are raising funds to support LACBC and climate sustainability, conservation, and active transportation. While Climate Ride California is the our featured event, Team LACBC will also be sending delegations to other 2018 Climate Ride experiences! This includes Death Valley in February, Pacific Northwest (San Juan Islands) in early August, Colorado in late August, and Nova Scotia in September. Check out the full line-up of Climate Ride offerings and join our team!

About Team LACBC:
2018 will mark the 6th year of Team LACBC’s participation in Climate Ride. Team LACBC first formed in 2012 (learn more about our history here) and has become legendary for being the most spirited and the successful fundraising team on the ride. This year’s captains include Greg Heining (CA) and Tish Laemmle (Nova Scotia). . Team training happens under the expert leadership of our training guru and route master, Wayne “Ridetime” Howard.

How It Works:
When you join Team LACBC, a portion of the money you raise will support LACBC’s work to make L.A. County a healthy, safe, and fun place to ride a bike. It is important to note that you must select Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition as your SOLE beneficiary. This is because beneficiaries receive a percentage of the amount raised. After you finish registering, you are provided a personal fundraising page to begin collecting donations.

Each rider has to raise a minimum of $3,000. If that sounds intimidating, don’t worry! We have lots of experience in this area and can help you reach your fundraising goals. We also offer great incentives for reaching fundraising milestones, as well as perks you can offer to the individuals and companies who contribute to your ride. Trust us, you can do it.
