We encourage you to start your fund-raising as soon as possible. If you have not met the minimum fundraising amounts of $2,000 for cyclists or $600 for crew by May 14, 2025, you will need to self-donate the remaining amount (i.e. at least up to the minimum) with cash, cashier’s check, money order, or credit card. You may be allowed to continue to raise funds after the ride.

If you are unable to self-donate up to the minimum by May 14, 2025, and you are a cyclist and if you have raised at least $600, you may be able to join us as crew.

Please reach out to your Team Captain or ncaceventinfo@gmail.com if you are experiencing difficulties with your fundraising efforts, there may avenues to assist you reaching your minimum. The NCAC Family will help where they can!

While some of the routes are challenging, it’s also invigorating. The road mixes with laughter, sweat, tears, and smiles. Your muscles will ache while your mind soars with the sense of accomplishment you are earning.

And when you roll back into Sacramento you’ll know that you’ve changed lives.

Join us…raise money, make a difference, experience the rewards!

Want to help but can’t participate in the Event? Join as a Fundraiser and raise as much funds as possible.

Life on the road of NCAC involves team-work, camaraderie, dedication, and solidifying friendships. The days starts for some crew members as early as 4:30 a.m., when they wake up start the day off. Cyclists and crew will hit the road at various times based on chosen routes.

Cyclists and crew will receive detailed cue sheets that point out every turn and mark each rest stop.

Some folks you want out there on the road with you but hope not to see too much are our Bike Tech who drives the route all day, and sets up a mobile “tune-up” shop at certain rest stops. Our Medical Crew also drives the route to make sure crew and cyclist alike can speak coherently and ride a straight line!

For the 2025 NorCal AIDS Cycle, Cyclists are required to raise at least $2,000 in donations to participate. Crew Members must raise $600.

Please remember that your $45 Registration Fee is not included in your fundraising total.
