What We Do

Our members are men and women living and working in Menlo Park, Atherton, and surrounding communities. Additionally, we also work with Rotary International to help people around the world who are struggling for survival.

A Great Ride!

Please join us this year on Saturday, Aug. 22, 2009, for The 2009 Tour de Menlo and enjoyed a beautiful and scenic ride down the peninsula to Picchetti Open Space Preserve and Winery.

This year's ride will offer cyclists three mileage options, 106 kilometers (65 miles), 75k (50 miles) and 56k (35 miles). All three rides are over well-marked scenic bike routes and are fully supported, with SAG and two rest/water stops. All proceeds from the ride will benefit scholarships awarded by the Rotary Club of Menlo Park and the club's tutoring projects.
