Event Description
The 16th Annual Gene Cerise Country Coast Classic Bike Ride takes place on scenic routes of rolling hills, vineyards and beautiful coastline of the central California coast. There are three levels of rides to choose from:
The Century: This ride provides 100 miles of challenge for advanced cyclists. The route winds over Hwy 46 to the Paso Robles wine country and back to the Pinedorado Grounds in Cambria for lunch, before heading north on Hwy 1 to Ragged Point and back. Only experienced riders should attempt this ride.
The Half Century: A 50 mile intermediate ride with a bit of a challenge. Pedal up Hwy 1 from the Pinedorado Grounds in Cambria to Ragged Point and back. This route has one hard hill.
Short Ride: Fun! Short & sweet: a gentle ride starting from the Pinedorado Grounds in Cambria up the coast to the Elephant Seal Rookery and back. Ride the whole way for 25 miles or just to Hearst Castle and back for 15 miles.
