The Revolution Ride, Roll & Stroll (or The REV) is BORP’s signature fundraising event, now in its 22nd year. This annual gathering of cycling enthusiasts brings together hundreds of people, moving on all manner of wheeled conveyance, to push their limits for the glory of raising funds for BORP. Our goal is to raise $225,000 on Saturday, May 17, 2025.

Thank you to our Partners and Funders who support the 2024 Revolution Ride, Roll & Stroll
 
Volunteer at the REV!
Be a volunteer – there are over 50 important volunteer roles we need to fill, such as: being at rest stops on the route (excellent group volunteer activity); being a sweep rider; helping with registration; trail safety and signage; supporting fun times at the festival, body work, etc. Uber volunteers will take on organizing large to-dos (e.g., deploying volunteers to set up the rest stops). None of it is complicated. Volunteers are the magic ingredient to the REV’s success! Join the fun and get a free t-shirt!   Email RevRide@borp.org or visit borp.ivolunteer.com for more info about volunteering at the REV.
 
The Revolution couldn’t happen without the help of our amazing volunteers. Volunteer shifts range from two hours up to as many as a volunteer is willing to work!  All volunteers who complete at least one shift are eligible to receive a Revolution t-shirt, admission to the Festival, and the knowledge that their contribution makes a real difference to the event and to BORP. We are extremely grateful for the assistance of our volunteers!
