DateLos Angeles Blade (Apr 28, 2026) and The Pride LA (May 2026) report registration open for the 2027 ride on April 23-25, 2027; official events page lists the Finish Line Festival on April 25, 2027, 12-8 pm, location still TBD. Inaugural 2026 ride was April 24-26, 2026.

NotesSuccessor event to AIDS/LifeCycle on the LA side. 2026 inaugural ride raised ~$830,511 with ~300 cyclists. IMPORTANT: official site now describes the route as 'Ride from Los Angeles to Ojai, camp with your friends, and cruise back along the coast' - i.e., the 2027 route appears to be an LA-Ojai-LA loop rather than LA-to-San Diego. Finish-line festival location listed as TBD. Official site (Oct 1, 2026) pitches the Ojai stop as 'Queer Summer Camp' (swimming, canoeing, lakeside DJ set); Register Now buttons live, no sell-out notice seen.

Registration

Organizer page says 'Registration Opens Friday, October 2' (no year shown; Oct 2, 2026 is a Friday). Not open as of Oct 1, 2026; 2027 ride dates not yet published.

DateInaugural ride was Sept 11–13, 2026 (SFAF/Castro Country Club announcement). Projected to the equivalent weekend in 2027 (Sept 10–12); no 2027 date announced yet — first-year event, so low confidence. Organizer's Recovery Ride page (Oct 1, 2026) now carries Year 2 / 2027 branding and the line 'Registration Opens Friday, October 2' (Oct 2, 2026 is a Friday) but still gives no 2027 ride dates; its Training page is still the 2026 version.

NotesFully supported, camping in Guerneville, $1,500 minimum; sober LGBTQ+ community ride benefiting Castro Country Club. SFAF calls it a complementary event to Cycle to Zero. Organizer contact: cccrecoveryride@gmail.com.
