WHO/WHAT
 Rock to Rock is an Annual bike ride hosted by Common Ground High School, Urban Farm and Environmental Education Center. The ride supports countless local non-profits with a commitment to a greener, healthier environment and world.

This year, due to restrictions associated with COVID-19, the group ride has been cancelled, but the event will go on with each team member encouraged to commit to an individual rides during the week around Earth Day.

Gather New Haven shares a vested commitment to this vision. You can support us by riding as a member of our team and selecting ‘New Haven Land Trust/New Haven Farms’ as your organization and ‘Red Beet Riders’ as your team when you register to ride.

HOW DOES THIS WORK/HELP
When you register to ride, it is our hope that you will choose to fundraise, reaching out to those in your networks via social media, family, and friends asking them to support you in your ride. Every little bit helps, $5 or $500. All funds raised will go directly toward the continuation of our programming.

WHY
This year’s Rock to Rock event marks the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day. For many, this evokes a mix of sadness and hope. Sadness over the environmental horrors that we have faced since Earth Day’s creation 50 years ago, most recently the horrendous bush fires in Australia, but hope for the chance to move forward in better direction in the 50 years to come, in a greener, healthier, and brighter direction; this is the kind of future that Gather New Haven is working towards through our mission and work. We hope that this resonates with you, and that you will partner with us by registering to ride with us in Rock to Rock 2020!
