The Ride Across California (RAC) is an epic journey for 5th graders and their parents, who ride bikes from the Colorado River to the Pacific Ocean over Spring Break.

"The Ride Across California teaches fifth graders that with proper planning and training, they can do something everyone agrees is hard to do." - Dennis Bueker, Co-Founder
