UPDATED MAY 13 2020

Due to Covid-19 concerns, our 2020 PAA ride route has been changed. We will now be staying in Bend, Oregon for the duration of the event.

From Sept 22-26, 2020, you can join us for 5 full days of epic riding through scenic routes in the Bend area. To register or for more details please visit: pablove.org/paa

Here’s a heart-warming Happy Holidays greeting from our newly-elected Pablove Foundation Board Chair and Pablove Across America Rider, Blair Herter, affectionately known as Chair Blair.

As Blair mentions, we already know our 2020 route will take us across the Pacific Northwest, from Seattle, Washington to Bend, Oregon, September 20-26th, 2020.

We will be revealing the legs of PAA 2020 in stages, with the first leg revealed when we register 30 riders.

After that, the second leg will be revealed once we hit $25K in fundraising, and the remaining legs will be revealed each time we hit the next $10K in fundraising. Let’s get the first leg revealed by December 31st! Click here to register!

Wow, Pablove Across America riders and supporters. You DID IT! We just crossed over $500,000.
That’s half a MILLION dollars raised to help children and teens living with cancer and speed their cures. Thank you so much for a life-changing (and life-saving) ride!

Are you thinking about joining us for next year’s event? We sure hope so! Stay tuned for the 2020 route reveal and other details coming your way in February!
