Rosedale Ride No. 32 Supporting The Rosedale Foundation



Rosedale Ride #32 returns with an exciting update! This year, we’re heading to the rolling farm country northeast of Austin in Taylor, Texas, offering riders a safer route and stunning scenery reminiscent of the classic Rosedale Rides of years past.
By listening to rider feedback, we’ve created an experience that combines quiet roads, sweeping hills, and the joy of riding together for a powerful cause—supporting Austin ISD’s purpose-built school serving students who are medically complex, neurodivergent, and/or living with lifelong developmental disabilities.
As we celebrate the 32nd Annual Rosedale Ride, your participation helps ensure we can continue delivering a high-quality event while providing critical support for the students, families, staff, and caregivers of the Rosedale community. We can’t wait to ride with you!
This year’s ride will take place on Saturday, March 28th, 2026 at 7:00 AM
Murphy Park
1600 Veterans Dr.
Taylor, TX 76574
More route information to come in January 2026! We will be providing multiple, fully supported routes ranging from 15 - 65 miles lengths with fully stocked rest stops and convenience facilities for all of our riders and participants.
In addition to your registration, we are encouraging all of our participants to set a minimum fundraising goal of $100! This is not required, but will go a long way to helping our Rosedale community and allow us to reach our 2026 fundraising goals!
Over the 31 years, the Rosedale Ride has made a significant impact on our Rosedale community, helping with adaptive transportation, learning centers, sensory rooms, impactful programming, and so much more. The new Rosedale School is an award-winning, first-of-its-kind school, the campus features an all-abilities playground, a living life lab, and a 17,000 sqft clinic in partnership with Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas and The Comprehensive Care Clinic, that provides specialty services to over 800+ children in the central Texas area with medically complex care needs.
Now with an exciting expanded scope of support services and programming, new funding is needed to continue supporting our community with assistive technology, professional staff training, uplifting and educational experiences for our students, as well as job training & internships and 18+ Transition to Life guidance after graduation to help our community thrive and forever be Rosedale Proud!
<p>This year, we’re challenging all our participants to fundraise above and beyond the registration fee.
