The Arthritis Foundation's California Coast Classic Bicycle Tour sponsored by Amgen is a spectacular 525-mile, 8-day tour from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Sun, rugged coasts, quiet beaches, lighthouses, giant forests, famous wineries and world-class cities are also daily travel experiences. The California Coast Classic Bike Tour actually offers two tour packages to all registered riders. A 6-day, 355-mile ride from San Francisco to Solvang or if your schedule permits, an 8-day, 525 mile ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Whether you choose tour package one or two, both rides have something to offer the beginner as well as the experienced cyclist.

The first stop on the race will be in Santa Cruz. Must register to participate.
