Jim Krause Memorial Ride
Ride the hidden, unridden, forbidden Point Loma.
Hosted by the Point Loma Rotary Club, Ride the Point is San Diego’s premier all-volunteer community cycling event. Routes open streets and scenic stretches of Point Loma that riders rarely get to experience — and every registration, sponsorship, and donation supports pancreatic cancer research at UC San Diego.
To date, this event has raised more than $500,000 for pancreatic cancer research at UCSD.
