GoodRides California can do all the research and planning for your next California cycling tour.

You tell us where you want to go, how many days you have for your trip, preferred starting and ending points, the kind of accommodations desired (camping or lodging, or a little of both), any personal interests, and any other special needs.

We will do the work for you and provide the following:

• Map(s) highlighting the best route to travel by bicycle (usually not the most direct route, but the most scenic and interesting paved secondary or minor roads, and ones least traveled by auto traffic where possible). 

• Detailed route directional sheets indicating climbing difficulty and general road conditions.

• Typical weather conditions, prevailing winds, and recommendations for the best time of year to ride in your selected locale.

• Recommended camping and lodging along the designated route or nearby. (You make your own reservations.)

• Recommended dining establishments and coffee houses (we know the needs of famished, road-weary cyclists...good-value cafes with lots of food and good coffee, of course).

• Names and addresses of bicycle shops along the way, just in case your bike needs repair.

• Offbeat and any special events or points of interest that are must-sees along the way.

• Response to any special questions you may have.

Simply complete and submit the GoodRides Travel Form and send us your payment and signed Waiver Form. We will prepare and send you a customized GoodRides California tour packet for your trip.
