This is a custom tour. To schedule this tour for a group of 6-12, please contact us. If you would like to join a similar tour on our regular schedule, please see our Northern California Challenge.

 

Day 1: Gather in Rohnert Park

We meet in the morning in Rohnert Park, at the Doubletree Hotel. We will go over the details of the day, then head out for a warm-up bike ride through the local Wine Contry.

We cycle to Safari West in the afternoon, where you may choose to take a safari ride or just relax on the beautiful grounds. Dinner is a traditional safari ranch barbecue, and we sleep this night in luxury tent cabins.

Day 2: Santa Rosa to Hopland

Today we meet for breakfast at Safari West, then head out on our bicycles through the wine country towns of Healdsburg, Geyserville, Cloverdale, and finally to Hopland. We stay overnight at Lawson's Station.

Day 3: Hopland to Mendocino

After breakfast, we head out on our bicycles over the coastal mountain range to the charming coast town of Mendocino. Our lodging for the next two nights is at the MacCallum House.

Day 4: Mendocino

Tonight we stay another day in Mendocino at the MacCallum House. There are many opporunites for activities today: hiking, strolling the town, scheduling a massage. Of course, there will be a cycling option or two. Dinner tonight is on your own.

Day 5: Mendocino to Gualala

After breakfast at the MacCallum house, we check out and head south on Highway One to the tiny town of Gualala. Our location for dinner and lodging tonight is the famed Sea Ranch Lodge, on a bluff overlooking the ocean.

Day 6: Gualala to Monte Rio

Today's ride takes us along a spectacular mountain ridge, so spectacular that many car commercials have been filmed here. After our ridgetop adventure, we head for the sleepy Russian River and Monte Rio, location of the exclusive Bohemian Grove. Tonight's dinner and lodging is at the Village Inn, a charming and historic hotel on the banks of the sleepy Russian River and literally surrounded by towering redwood trees.

Day 7: Monte Rio to Olema

Today we continue our trip south, through rolling pastures the to Point Reyes National Seashore and the bohemian town of Olema. Dinner and lodging is at the Olema Inn. With only 6 rooms at the inn, we will have the place to ourselves.

Day 8: Final Day

One more ride through the countryside, past organic farms to Petaluma, then back to Rohnert Park to finish our trip in the mid-afternoon.
