Message to all Ride & Walk 4 Art fans:
Dear Ride & Walk 4 Art registrant
We are sad to announce that because of the Covid-19 (Corona virus) emergency, we have to cancel the 2020 Ride & Walk 4 Art event scheduled for March 22. We believe it’s in the best interest for all participants: our volunteers, our staff, and you. We hope to reschedule in October.
It breaks our hearts to cancel this event. It’s the major fundraiser for our Arts in Education program, and helps provide much needed support for art instruction, special theatrical and music programs, and art days in Calaveras County public schools. This need will only grow more as our schools grapple with more cutbacks exacerbated by the current global situation.
We hope you will consider donating a portion or all of your Ride & Walk 4 Art fees to help us cover already incurred expenses, and to help fund Arts in Education. But we understand if you can’t. To request a full or partial refund on your tickets to Ride & Walk 4 Art, please contact us by email or USPS post stating your name, address, phone number, how many registrations you purchased, and how many you would like refunded. The deadline to do this is April 6, 2020.
Please help us keep the arts in our public schools. Our kids need the arts so that they develop life-long creative skills that they will need to survive in our world.

New in 2020!
Metric Plus Century
75-mile ride
3 Lakes • 3 big hill climbs • 5600 feet elevation gain
Join us for a day of fun to support arts in education!
Please join us on March 22, 2020 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.
This year we'd like to welcome the Sierra Nevada/Reliable Bike Racing Team who will serve as Ride Ambassadors.
They will be carrying extra bike tubes, water, and sharing encouragement to be sure people have a good time on the ride.
Afterwards, the Tri-Dam lions will prepare a Chicken-in-a-Barrel lunch.
This is the fifth year the Calaveras County Arts Council has held 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.
