Hope Ride Event

Join C3 Church for a ride unlike any other! This epic 5 Day, 525 mile road-cycling challenge has routes in the Central Ohio area. Day 1 is 200 miles; Days 2 and 3 are 100 miles; Day 4 is 75 miles; and the final day is 50 miles OR 21 miles. The funds raised will bring water, community development, education, and HOPE to the African countries of Zambia and Namibia. In conjunction with Reaching A Generation, Hope Ride does so much to change the world.

Register by July 22nd for a free Hope Ride t-shirt.

There will be a Celebration Dinner on Friday night after the 50 mile ride. It will be held at C3 Church starting at 6p. This is open to the public and a great way to support the riders and learn more about Hope Ride. Dinner is free but seating is limited to 120 people.

Who can participate in Hope Ride Ohio? We require riders to be 18 years old. It is important for everyone's safety that participants are experienced group riders and follow protocols such as maintaining pace, passing left, and over communicating hazards.

Where can I find the routes? The routes are listed below. All rides start at C3 Church in Canal Winchester, OH. Rides will begin at the stated start times. 

Can anyone ride the longer (100 & 200 mile) rides? Due to physical and mental demands of riding 200 miles, this event will be invite only. The two 100 mile rides have a bit more flexibility but we ask that participants have completed two to three 75 mile rides before these events. 

What kind of SAG support can I expect? There will be SAG support for the 100 and 200 mile rides including first aid, food, drinks, bike stand and pump, and transport of your go bag. The shorter routes will have stops where food is available for purchase. During the ride you will need to change your own flats. Please be prepared to do so.
