About Our CF Cycle for Life

This year, we are excited to join the Giro Bello ride in Santa Rosa for Northern California Cycle for Life 2024. The event is on Saturday June 29th and we hope you will join us! Enjoy a beautiful and fun ride through the Sonoma County countryside!

The Giro Bello has 3 fully supported routes: 103 miles (century ride), 62 miles, and 31 miles. After the ride, you’ll enjoy a post ride festival with music, food, and wine vendors. We will also have our CF Cycle for Life team table so you can meet up with fellow teammates and celebrate your accomplishment as a team after the ride.

Please note: You will register and fundraise on this CF Cycle for Life website for the ride. Both registrations are required to participate.
