2013 Northern California Coast Ride
STUDIO VELO'S 2013 NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST RIDE -- SOLD OUT
THE TRIP:
For 2013 Studio Velo brings you another world-class, fully supported California Coast Ride, this time to the Northern reaches of California. We will ride over 300 miles from Ferndale to Mill Valley, taking in the remote Lost Coast, followed by the Avenue of the Giants, then onto some of California's lovely coast line. The April 19th-21st edition promises to bring another challenging and adventurous cycling experience. For 3 days, we have again secured premiere accommodations for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and have the SV: Gourmet team on hand to provide meals and support along the way.
The trip is NOT EASY, yet with ample prepation, lots of miles of pre-trip riding, it is a wonderful way to launch into your spring/summer fitness program, perfect training for the racing season, or simple experience some of the best cycling in California. We will have two SAG vehicles so all riders will have support all along the way and shoud feel comfortable riding at your own pace.
ROUTE REVIEW:
Plan on riding +/- 100 miles per day over 3 days. On Thursday night, April 18th, we will shuttle everyone up to Garberville, where we will spend the night before heading up to the start in Ferndale on Friday am. After a casual start, awaiting a few riders coming up Friday am, we will attack the incredible and mysterious Lost Coast of California, finishing through the famed Avenue of the Giants, followed by two days down the Northern California Coast, arriving in Mill Valley on day 3. If you have done the southern version with us, you will be most impressed with what Northern California has to offer. Much more remote, quite a bit more climbing but extremely more rewarding.
Day 1: 96 Miles - 9,200 feet climbing.
Day 2: 125 Miles - 9,600 feet of climbing.
Day 3: 110 Miles - 7,500 +/- feet of climbing*
*Final Route into Mill Valley TBD.
