Riders will travel approximately 50-70 miles per day at their own pace as the tour winds its way from the mountains to the coast. Rest stops will be set up every 15-20 miles along the route, and will be stocked with beverages and snacks. As a fully supported ride, luggage will be hauled in support vehicles from one overnight host community to the next. Support vehicles will be available to aid cyclists who experience physical or mechanical breakdowns. Indoor and outdoor camping areas with amenities will be provided in overnight host communities.
Riders can register for single-day options the evening before or the morning of the day 's ride.
