 Ride & Walk 4 Art 
is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, March 21, 2021. 

Save the Date!
March 21, 2021

We are optimistic about 2021, and so we have scheduled a Ride & Walk 4 Art "Get out of the house!" ride for March 21, 2021. We will be strictly observing all health protocols at that time to keep you and our volunteers safe as houses. 

Ride  Walk 4 Art is a fun way to help Calaveras County public schools provide meaningful art instruction to our kids. You get a joyful ride through beautiful Calaveras County (plus lunch) and every dime of our profits is used to expose kids to theater, painting, drawing, literature and poetry.

Our kids need the arts so that they develop life-long creative skills that they will need to survive in our world. And this year, the need is even greater, as school budgets have been slashed. Please help us keep the arts in our public schools.

Join us for a day of fun to support arts in education!

Please join us on March 21, 2021 for Ride & Walk4Art in the beautiful California foothills in West Calaveras County. Choose from 3 bicycle rides—25-miles, 45-miles, or 75 miles—or an easy 4.5-mile walk skirting New Hogan Lake.

After our gap year due to Covid-19, we're looking forward to presenting our Fifth Annual Ride & Walk4Art. Past participants say that this event is the best local bike and walk event, and serves a sensational lunch along with a friendly community atmosphere. 

Make an overnight of the event and stay locally. The tri-lake area has ample camping and other overnight accommodations. Click here to see all accommodations. 

We're accepting no more than 350 participants—300 cyclists and 50 walkers—making this an intimate ride with a community vibe. You'll traverse rolling California foothills along roads that rarely see cars, past scenic views of oak forests and pastoral meadows and the blue waters of three reservoirs. The hill climbs offer spectacular views; you can see Mt. Diablo on a clear day. 

Your participation will help raise funds for the Calaveras Arts Council Arts in Education program, a program designed to bring art, music, dance, and theatre to the schools of Calaveras County. 
In the last two years we have supported watercolor classes, collage instruction, ceramic classes, and school murals. The kids are creative; they are hungry for art.  In 2020 the CCAC plans to offer even more art. Simply by having fun, you can help us help the children of Calaveras County. 
Registration: Opens January 1
​Registration closes at 300 riders and 50 walkers.
