Our rides average 40 miles a day over terrain that is varied and sometimes challenging but well within the ability of any reasonably fit and enthusiastic student. Our trip ends with a celebratory ride across the Golden Gate Bridge, sightseeing in the city and two days of exciting rafting on the South Fork of the American River with professional guides. Beginners as well as experienced riders are welcome. Applicants should be positive, motivated and fit, with strong leadership skills. Applications are accepted starting in September and most groups fill in January.
Students provide their own bicycles.
Complete trip information is sent upon acceptance. Trip cost does not include airfare. The Pacific Coast trip was all I hoped it would be and more. I learned that one doesn't need much to live and be happy. I had the greatest month of my life with just five T-shirts, a sleeping bag, a bike and 10 terrific friends.
