COVID-19 Response
As we planned for our third annual Pedal to Resettle, no one could have predicted the realities of a global pandemic and its effects on our everyday lives. We have been getting questions about how we are preparing for PTR 2020, so we wanted to address COVID-19 specific inquiries as well as general questions about the event below. We are so grateful for your continued support of refugees and immigrants in the greater Sacramento community. You ride, they thrive!
-World Relief PTR Team
How are you deciding which COVID-19 related adjustments need to be made?
We are and always have been committed to ensuring the highest level of safety. Period. This goes for individuals we serve through our programs, Pedal to Resettle riders, World Relief staff, and volunteers.
So, we have a dedicated PTR team closely monitoring state and county guidelines as well as CDC and other health agency recommendations to create a safe and fun experience both on and off the bicycle.
Given COVID-19 realities, what adjustments have been made?
In light of current circumstances, we have made three immediate adjustments:
Riders, volunteers and community partners will be updated regularly via email, and this page will be updated as we make adjustments or receive new information about state, city and county regulations.
What if I still have more questions?
Contact us at norcalptr@wr.org. We would love to answer your questions or address any concerns.

Given COVID-19 realities, what adjustments have been made?
In light of current circumstances, we have made three immediate adjustments:
- First, we have cancelled our bunk/cabin style accommodations used in previous years and are exploring safer alternatives.
- Second, we have added a 1-day PTR rider option where no lodging is required and cyclists can safely transport themselves to the route location.
- Finally, we have added “Resilience Rider” [link to Resilience Rider page or another FAQ] option where cyclists can ride on their own (or with family) while still supporting their refugee and immigrant neighbors through cycling and fundraising efforts.
Riders, volunteers and community partners will be updated regularly via email, and this page will be updated as we make adjustments or receive new information about state, city and county regulations.
