2014 Golden Gate Ride & Retreat: Bay Area, CA
Memorial Day Weekend, May 23 – 26
Join us for a full weekend of Jewish celebration at the beautiful Walker Creek Ranch and bike riding through the rolling hills of Marin and Sonoma Counties and across the Golden Gate Bridge. Come as a rider, and enjoy two days of cycling or you can come for a one-day ride on Sunday or Monday. We are always looking for some great crew members who support the cyclists on the road; or, come for Shabbat only and still participate in weekend programming. The Ride & Retreat raises money for Hazon’s innovative programming in the Bay Area, including our food justice work, educational initiatives, and sustainable food resources resources for Jewish institutions. The Ride & Retreat also supports projects and programs of our partners locally.

The Hazon New York Ride is a fully-supported ride and community experience for people of all cycling levels and ages.

“At the NY Ride & Retreat, we learned that living Jewishly is much more than lighting Shabbat candles and attending services. We breathed, ate, cycled, and lived Jewish values together in one of the most amazing weekends I have ever spent.” — Regina, NY Rider
