Beautiful is the only way to describe this day's ride. Ride along the colorful cliffs of the Pacific Coast Highway with the surf to your right and the hills to your left. This is what rider's paradise looks like!

Day at leisure to relax and explore the sleepy beach town and stretch the legs

Today you continue down the coast to the quaint beach town of Crescent City. Named for its half-moon shaped coastline and known for its rocky seaboard, your approach into Crescent City marks our first entrance into The Golden State where you will be spending the remaining portion of your tour. While today's journey will be long, nothing is a chore when you ride alongside the sparkling Pacific coast.

Awe, respect, and admiration--these are just a few things you will experience today on our ride from the Northern California town of Crescent City through Redwood National Park on our way to Shelter Cove, CA.

Revel in their enormity as you make our way out of the misty fog and continue southward to the quite whale watching community of Shelter Cove.

Before you hit the road for the day, wander out to the rocky coastline with your binoculars to catch a glimpse of the whales native to those parts of the Pacific.

We'll pass by Fort Bragg with its picturesque coastline, rugged terrain, and sapphire blue waves crashing against the rocks and sand. Finally you'll finish off the day arriving in Mendocino California, a haven for the artistically inclined.

You could tour a winery or stop for a tasting before you roll into the bustling metropolis of San Francisco.
