WHO YOU’RE WRITING
The board behind the email.
The DC Ride is run by a volunteer board of officers and at-large directors drawn from the camps. They’re who reads your note.
El Presidente, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and at-large directors representing every camp on the ride. They set the route, run the application process, manage the budget, and answer the mail.

WICKENBURG
Where the ride lives.
The Desert Caballeros are based in Wickenburg, Arizona — about an hour northwest of Phoenix on US-60, in the high Sonoran Desert where the Hassayampa River runs between the Bradshaw and Weaver Mountains. The ride starts and ends downtown every April.
For the 80th annual ride applications open in the fall — April 12–16, 2027.
