Ride The Point Annual Ride

Ride the Point was inspired by the late Jim Krause, an avid bicyclist,  Rotarian, and family man. Like all of us who ride, he loved getting out there with other cyclists for a day of riding, fun, and comradery. He lived life to the fullest and dedicated himself to the cause of finding a cure for pancreatic cancer. 


 Ride The Point is organized by the Point Loma Rotary Club. San Diego Cyclo-Vets is an annual sponsor of Ride the Point and many of its members volunteer each year on the organizing committee and as course marshals. 


Distance: Varies

Pace: Varies


NOTE:  Enter CVRTP2022 when registering, to receive a $10 discount.
