ONE RIDE. OUR COMMUNITY. ONE CAUSE.
The NorCal AIDS Cycle is an annual cycling event born out of a need that continues today. Diminishing resources to support those living with HIV/AIDS lead to a dedicated group of volunteers planning and producing a four-day cycling event to raise funding for AIDS Service Organizations struggling to keep their doors open.
For over 20 years, cyclists and crew from all walks of life and abilities have come together as a community to make a difference, with the money raised benefiting those in the community who need some hope.
2026 NorCal AIDS Cycle
Join us May 14–17, 2026, as the NorCal AIDS Cycle celebrates over 20 years of impact, community, and unforgettable rides 🚴♀️
We’ll kick things off on Day 1 as we ride from Beals Point to our lively basecamp at the Yuba-Sutter Fairgrounds. Once we’re settled in, Days 2 and 3 will feature scenic routes designed to challenge and inspire—before we roll triumphantly back to the Capitol Steps in Sacramento on Day 4. Routes are still being fine-tuned, so stay tuned for exciting updates as plans come together!
Want to ride with us? Cyclists commit to raising a minimum of $2,000—and yes, ebikes are absolutely welcome! Not a rider? Join our incredible crew team, with a $600 fundraising minimum, and be the heartbeat that keeps the event moving.
Every dollar raised fuels vital, “boots on the ground” AIDS Service Organizations across Sacramento and Greater Northern California. These are the organizations showing up every day—and many rely on this ride to keep their doors open.
