Sierra to the Sea is a scenic and challenging 8-day California bicycle and camping tour. New this year, Tent and Porter option! We ride again this year from Lake Tahoe, cross 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 32nd anniversary of our tour, and we are excited about our new Lake Tahoe start and the revised route. 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 them here: Day 1, South Lake Tahoe to Silver Lake, and Day 7 Olema to San Francisco
