Event Description

The 18th Annual Gene Cerise Country Coast Classic Bike Ride takes place on scenic routes of rolling hills and beautiful coastline of the central California coast. There are three levels of rides to choose from:


The ¾ Century Ride:
This ride provides 72 miles of challenge for advanced cyclists. The route goes up to the top of Hwy 46 and back to Hwy 1 before heading north along the coast up to Ragged Point. Rest Stops with scrumptious goodies are found along the way at the "top of 46", Vista Point and at Ragged Point. Riders must ride single-file on a narrow shoulder on the northern portion of this route to Ragged Point. See website for Route Map & Profile

The ½ Century Ride: A 45 mile intermediate ride with a bit of a challenge. Pedal up Hwy 1 from the Pinedorado Grounds in Cambria to Ragged Point and back. This route has one hard hill climbing up to Ragged Point. Rest Stops with scrumptious goodies are found along the way at Vista Point and at Ragged Point. Riders must ride single-file on a narrow shoulder on the northern portion of this route to Ragged Point. This ride ia a good test of your riding skills. See website for Route Map & Profile 

The ¼ Century Ride: Fun! Short & sweet: a gentle ride starting from the Pinedorado Grounds in Cambria up the coast to the Elephant Seal Rookery and back. Ride the whole way for 25 miles or just to Hearst Castle and back for 15 miles. This is a great choice for families since this section of Highway 1 has wide shoulders.  A well-supplied rest stop awaits you at the Vista Point turnaround. See website for Route Map & Profile
