Views abound on this cycling vacation of the southern California coast! Bike from Monterey, along the famous 17 mile drive, then down the entire Big Sur coastline. Our destination is Solvang, where we'll loop the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley wine country.

Along the way we'll cycle past lighthouses, sea lions, Hearst Castle, and the best views on the California coast. Prepare to ride the famous beaches of Pebble, Moonstone Bay, and Pismo. If you've never seen this section of the Pacific coastline, then treat yourself to a Bicycle Tour you will not forget!
