Ride for the Living 2022
F

ederation’s Israel & Overseas Department 
recently announced that Ride for the 
Living 2022 registration is now open. 
This round-trip ride on Sunday, July 24, at 8 
a.m., from Ferndale to the Detroit Riverfront is 
for riders of all ages and skill levels — everyone 
from Slow Rollers (avg. 11-12 mph), Cruisers 
(avg. 13-15 mph) to Chasers (avg. 16-18 mph). 
Ebike rental is available, too. 
Why ride for the living? 
The Krakow JCC’s Annual Ride for the 
Living is a 34.5-mile bike ride from Auschwitz 
to the JCC Krakow that commemorates Jewish 
history and celebrates the miraculous rebirth 
of Jewish life in Poland today. Detroit’s satel-
lite ride (approximately 30 miles) is a way to 

commemorate and celebrate the living. Plus, 
proceeds from the ride will benefit the Krakow 
JCC. 
Riders will meet up and start at Ferndale 
High School and finish (at their own pace) at 
Ferndale Project for food and drinks. 
Federation has worked out a special deal 
with American Cycle & Fitness for ebike rental. 
They’ll deliver and pick up for you at the start/
finish so all you have to do is be pedal-ready 
(an ebike is still a pedal bike but with electric 
motor assistance to go farther with less people 
power). 
Registration fee of $36 includes a fanny pack 
and one drink voucher. Register at https://jlive.
