The Movement Starts Here
Ride to Eat™ isn’t just a cycling event — it’s a bold, purpose-driven experience where wellness, culture, and community collide.
- This is where movement fuels mission.
- Where community shows up for community.
- Where every mile creates impact.
Our Purpose
Ride to Eat™ was created to bridge movement with meaningful change.
We believe access to food, education, wellness, and opportunity should never be out of reach. This event is a direct extension of that belief — raising funds, awareness, and engagement to expand the Bren Herrera Foundation’s work across the DMV and beyond.
- Youth culinary and wellness education
- Community meal programs
- Access to nutrition and health resources
- After-school programming and mentorship
And just as importantly, we are creating intentional space to support our Veterans — those whom have courageously served.
Honoring Our Veterans
Ride to Eat™ proudly incorporates a focus on veteran engagement and support.
We are developing veteran-specific ride routes and experiences, creating an environment where veterans can ride in community, be recognized, and feel fully supported.
We strongly encourage veterans to participate — whether as riders, volunteers, or partners — as we continue building programming that honors their service and prioritizes their wellness.
Our Goals
200+ cyclists riding in unity
Thousands of meals funded for local communities
Dedicated participation and support for veterans and differently abled cyclists
High-impact partnerships with aligned brands and organizations
Scalable growth into a nationally recognized experience
The Ride to Eat™ Experience
This is not your average cycling event — it’s a fully immersive experience.
- Fully supported ride routes with SAG support
- Curated rest stops with food + hydration
- Branded Ride to Eat™ cycling kits
