Miles of beaches and bluffs, endless ocean vistas, ancient redwood forests, and rolling farmlands…these are the scenes that make the Pacific Coast one of the most spectacular bicycle routes in the world.

Oregon Coast & Surfing
We’ll meet in Eugene and transfer west to the Pacific Ocean and Florence, Oregon. Heading south from there, we’ll wind our way down the Oregon coast, past sandy beaches with rolling waves and giant rock formations. Nights will be spent in state parks right on the water’s edge. Shortly after crossing into California, we’ll spend an exciting day off our bikes taking a surf lesson with professional instructors near Crescent City.

California Redwoods & Sea Kayaking
Our route takes us along California’s meandering Lost Coast, and into the majestic redwood forests. Pedaling along the famed “Avenue of the Giants,” we’ll be humbled by these ancient, towering trees. National Park Rangers will lead us in a rewarding, day-long volunteer project, before we continue south on Route 1. We’ll follow this scenic stretch of road past small towns and salt water farms, and then take another day off the bikes in Mendocino to explore the coast in sea kayaks. With professional guides, we’ll paddle through narrow rock passageways and natural channels.

San Francisco
A few more days of riding bring us to our final destination, beautiful San Francisco! Spirits will soar as we see the Golden Gate Bridge stretch out before us and lead us across the bay to this great city. After spending our last full day together exploring the sights of San Francisco, we'll enjoy a festive farewell dinner at one of the city's great restaurants to celebrate our many accomplishments.
