Itinerary
The Russian River Valley may be famous for wine, but make no mistake about it…this is not a wine tasting adventure! You’ll be cycling a challenging route with distances ranging from 20-55 miles depending on your desired level of adventure. Whether you bring your own bike or rent one from us, you’ll want low gearing to tackle the toughest climbs.
After we meet in Duncans Mills, make introductions, and cover our safety briefing, we’ll either follow the Russian River or Austin Creek for a flat warmup. Next up is either the coastal rollers along Highway 1 or the rugged climbs of Fort Ross Rd. or King Ridge. We’ll hit a bakery midway to refuel. And all along the way we’ll learn about the histories of the redwood forests, the communities in their midst, and the indigenous people who first occupied these lands.
For those looking for a gravel adventure, we’ll ride portions of the famous Old Caz route once part of the Grasshopper Adventure Series. If you prefer to start from your hotel or other accommodations, we’ll prepare a unique route taking advantage of your location.
