Event Description
Ride the Hidden, Unridden, and Forbidden Point Loma to Support Pancreatic Cancer Research
Cyclists will be rolling through scenic areas of San Diego again on November 8th to support pancreatic cancer research in the 12th Annual Jim Krause Memorial Charity Cycling Ride the Point. The ride starts and ends at Liberty Station and includes exclusive routes through Point Loma, Ocean Beach, Mission Bay, La Jolla, Torrey Pines, and Sorrento Valley. This ride takes participants through historic neighborhoods and past some of the most scenic areas of San Diego – some only open once a year for this event. The event has hundreds of volunteers along the route, SAG support, and five fully stocked rest stops.
Ride the Point has three distances to accommodate diverse levels of cycling experience. The 5-mile Family Fun Ride is a relatively flat course on bike paths along beautiful San Diego Bay and is perfect for cruisers, beginning riders, challenged athletes, and families. The 25 Mile and Metric Century are street rides with exclusive routes and challenging climbs around scenic San Diego. This ride is limited to 600 riders to ensure an unforgettable experience. The public is invited to the free healthy lifestyle expo at Oggi’s in Liberty Station from 9 am until 2 pm with local vendors, music, and refreshments.
Register as a VIP to attend a pre-ride reception at beautiful San Diego Yacht Club the night before the event to meet the hosts, pancreatic cancer researchers, and fellow riders. The VIP SWAG includes an exclusive event bag, designer jersey, reserved parking, early start, and lunch after the ride.
