Let's ride! Happy to be back out on the road following last weekend's rain cancellation. This weekend we have one ride on Saturday. The Sunday ride is cancelled.

Saturday's ride will be from Mike's Bikes in Folsom, up to Auburn, out to Lincoln and back. There's a lot of climbing on the way up to Auburn and heading to Lincoln, but then it's mostly down hill!

Sunday's ride is cancelled due to lack of riders registered.

Be sure to RSVP on the NCAC Calendar for the ride: https://norcalaidscycle.org/calendar

NCAC Wish List

As we gear up for the upcoming NorCal AIDS Cycle, we’re excited to invite you to be part of something truly meaningful—not just for our riders, but for the communities we serve.
One of the things that makes this event so special is our commitment to giving back. We work hard to keep our operational costs as low as possible so that we can direct as much of the funds raised as we can to our beneficiaries supporting those affected by HIV/AIDS. Every dollar saved on event needs is a dollar that can go directly to making a difference.
That’s where you come in. We’ve created a wish list of essential items that help keep our riders safe, supported, and energized for the journey—from hydration and nutrition supplies to gear that keeps everything running smoothly. By donating items from the list, you’re directly helping us reduce expenses and maximize what we’re able to give back.
If you’re able to contribute, we would be incredibly grateful—every item, big or small, plays a real role in the success and impact of this ride. You can view our wish list here:

Thank you for being such an important part of this community and for helping us continue to show up for one another. Your support helps us go further—on the road and in our mission.

With gratitude,
NCAC Leadership

We've are having a great training season, but alas, the weather is not on our side this weekend. For rider and crew safety, we have made the decision to cancel the Benchmark ride this weekend. No other rides were scheduled. We hope to be back on our training rides next weekend!

This is a great change to send out some fundraising emails, ping a few donors, and try to hit the gym for cross-training! Cheers!
