From the best oceanside bike spots in San Simeon and Cambria, to the inland, rolling vineyards of Edna Valley and Paso Robles, we’ve created a guide to help you plan your own cycling challenge on the Central Coast.
We have an extensive variety of cycling routes for different types of rides. If you’re new to the area, riding on any of these routes will give you a unique feeling only experienced on the Central Coast.
Follow the steps below to ensure you find a ride capable of challenging you.
1. Figure Out What Type of Route You Need
If you’re a Cat 1 cyclist, you’re going to want a physically taxing and challenging route such as the Eroica: Heroic Route from Cambria. If you’re a casual road cyclist, then a morning, low-wind ride with the Ragged Point Route’s beautiful coastal views may be your calling.
2. Pick Your Cycling Route
Next, check out our list of routes to find the one that will deliver the experience you crave. You can sort the guide by starting point (town), distance, and terrain (paved or gravel). Click on a route for all the details—the info includes a map of the route, an elevation guide, and points of interest along the way.
3. Book Your Stay
Our routes are worthwhile—often a worthwhile day-long affair. We know how much your quads will need the R&R after taking you to some killer views. Luckily, we can hook you up with cyclist-friendly lodging. Check it out below and book your stay.
