Ride Across California a 5th Grade Tradition

May 3, 2022

Two Classical Academy brothers, Eric snd Bryce McCague, completed a seven-day Ride Across California (RAC). The Ride Across California (RAC) is a journey for 5th graders and their parents, who ride bikes from the Colorado River to the Pacific Ocean over Spring Break. This 31-year tradition teaches students real-life lessons of hard work, grit, and determination and requires extensive training and planning. Bryce McCague completed the RAC in 5th grade and returned as an Alumni Volunteer this year. Bryce is a member of the CAHS Mountain Biking Team."The Ride Across California teaches fifth-graders that, with proper planning and training, they can do something everyone agrees is hard to do." - Dennis Bueker, Co-Founder
