I am sad to say, that ACTC has decided not to offer the Sierra to the Sea tour in 2025. As you might have guessed, mounting costs makes an event this year impossible. No one is more sadly affected than our Club and staff, as it has been our joy to vacation with so many outstanding riders and friends during the summer through the years.
Thanks to everyone who traveled our way for the last 34 years!
We won’t give up hope, the urge to continue is strong within ACTC. We will be examining other versions and objectives for potential tours in the future.
My warmest regard,
Steve CrosbyDirector Sierra to the Sea
Sierra to the Sea is a scenic and challenging 8-day California bicycle and camping tour.
We begin near the Sierra Nevada, then traverse the Sacramento,
Napa and Russian River Valleys, to the Pacific Coast. The tour finishes with a ride across the Golden Gate Bridge and a picnic in Golden Gate Park. This is the 34th anniversary of our tour. See our 2023 routes on the ROUTE tab.
See Where We Go.
The tour route is approximately 420 miles long and averages 60 miles per day
for each of seven cycling days. It is challenging and designed for experienced riders. Some less strenuous route options are provided, as well as options for riders who wish greater challenges.
Members of the Lehigh Wheelmen recorded Relive videos of their 2018 ride. See one here: Day 7 Olema to San Francisco
Sierra to the Sea is organized by the Almaden Cycle Touring Club of San Jose, a not-for-profit organization whose Tierra Bella Bicycle Tour has, for over 42 years, been one of the most respected and successful rides of its kind in California.
