Tour De
California Coast
A 380-mile charity ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles along the iconic Pacific Coast Highway. Two riders. One cause. Every mile matters.

Where Passion Meets Purpose on the Pacific Coast
For us, pedaling from San Francisco to Los Angeles along the Pacific Coast represents more than a cycling challenge — it's our way of honoring loved ones affected by Alzheimer's and drawing attention to a cause that touches millions of families.
We've spent years riding together on Bay Area roads, climbing Mount Tam and looping Paradise on long weekends, pushing ourselves through centuries and big training days. Cycling is something we genuinely love, and endurance miles have always felt like home to us.
But this ride is different. It will be the longest journey we've ever taken on — not just because of the distance, but because we're stepping into new territory by tying it to something bigger than ourselves. Raising awareness and support adds a layer of vulnerability and purpose that makes this both exciting and a little intimidating. That's exactly why we're doing it.

Training Tips
Thinking about taking on a multi-day ride yourself? Here's how we're preparing for 380 miles along the coast.
Build a Base
Start with 12-16 weeks of structured base training. Increase weekly mileage by no more than 10% each week to avoid injury.
Train for Climbs
The coast isn't flat. Incorporate hill repeats and long climbs into your weekly rides to build the strength you'll need for Big Sur.
Cross-Train
Supplement your riding with core work, stretching, and strength training. A strong body off the bike makes you stronger on it.
Back-to-Back Rides
Practice multi-day riding by doing long rides on consecutive days. This teaches your body to recover and perform day after day.
