13th Annual • Summer 2027, date announced soon
THE BAY RIDE
135 miles around the whole Bay, or 35 miles across it. One price, ride as far as you can.
Capped at 1,000 riders. Sells out every year.
The 2026 ride is in the books: sold out again, our 12th year in a row. The official 2026 photos are up, and 2027 registration is already open because riders asked for first dibs.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Raising Funds for Safer Streets
Every registration directly funds cycling infrastructure in the Bay Area. Protected bike lanes. Safer intersections. Better signage. We call it "Safe Streets" because when cycling gets safer, everyone benefits. Cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers alike.
The Bay Ride is put on by a 501(c)(3), and if riding is not in the cards this year, a tax-deductible donation funds the same work.

THE 2026 JERSEY
Jersey, bibs, wind jacket, and cap, printed to order. The store closes for good on September 27 and the run ships November 6, so this is the last chance at the 2026 design.
Open to everyone. You don't have to ride to wear one!

Our Story
In 2014, three friends had a crazy idea: bike around the entire Bay Area. From that adventure—and the desire to change lives through challenge and the discovery of outdoor beauty—The Bay Ride was born.
What started with 3 riders has grown to 1,000 participants annually. We've sold out every year for 12 years in a row, and spots are limited!
