The 2021 Dream Ride

Southern California’s most beautiful views with fun, friendly fellow cyclists

You’re in for the ride of your life. How better to celebrate the year 2021 than with a team of fellow cycling companions on one of the most stunning routes featuring food, fun, and freedom.

From October 3rd to the 8th, 2021 we will ride for 290 miles along some of California’s most breathtaking views, through quaint towns, exploring culinary oases, sights, and sounds, while building and enjoying the community of fellow cyclists.

We invite you to ride with us along California’s magnificent Pacific Ocean and through gorgeous canyons. We'll explore the region’s excellent food and drink, and spend nights in comfortable lodging. This ride is fully supported—your every need will be taken care of and all meals and snacks are included in your fundraising minimum. Self-fund or raise the full cost to support CalBike on this reasonably priced tour.

"The social aspect was especially rewarding and many friends were made. It was, as always, a great experience." — Ralph W., four-time repeat rider
