About the Event
Little Red Riding Hood is an annual women’s-only ride featuring 3,500 cyclists. The event occurs on the first Saturday each June in Cache Valley, Utah. Little Red Riding Hood is a fully supported, non-competitive, women only cycling event. With 27, 36, 50, 70 and 100 mile distances, there is a ride for everyone.
The Bonneville Cycling Club (BCC) organizes the Little Red Riding Hood Bicycle Ride and is dedicated to raising money in the fight against cancer in women. BCC is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing education and riding opportunities for everyone from novice recreational riders to riders training for LOTOJA.
This ride requires a significant volunteer effort to make it safe and successful. Please consider helping out if you can, and plan to have a buddy with you.
The Bonneville Cycling Club, Bridgerland Amateur Radio Club, and Cache County ARES, thank you for your interest in supporting this event!
How to Get Involved
Amateur Radio Operators are needed to provide logistical, sag, and first aid communications support as more than 3000 women on bikes make their way around Cache Valley. This is a great event to get involved with and it raises money for Cancer research.

Why BARC Supports Little Red Riding Hood
#1: Helping the fight against cancer in women
Donate Now
Note: All donations to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation will be earmarked to directly fund breast and ovarian cancer research.
#2: Emergency Communications Training
There is almost no better practice available for disaster EmComm operations than a live sporting event!
Events like Little Red Riding Hood allow BARC members to gain practical experience with EmComm operations to keep our skills sharp!
Equipment is put to the test every year to keep it running well and to keep improving it. Each time a Cache County ARES member deploys, he or she gains valuable experience on what works well, and what doesn’t. We must be ready for the unexpected, the unusual, and also the unreasonable: tired, thirsty, hungry cyclists!
