Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

• Road conditions: Road quality is, overall, good. Every year a new section of road is repaved but there can be some rough surfaces. Typically, traffic is low to moderate, but weekend days can see an increase due to more tourists in the area.
• Packing: Layers! Layering is the best way to regulate your body temperature. This tried-and-true strategy is all about slipping layers on and off as your activity level or the weather changes.

Meet us in Eureka (we found it!). After a short one-hour shuttle north, we begin cycling on the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway through the mammoth redwoods of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Stop for a quick hike to crane your neck at Big Tree, standing over 300 feet tall. It measures 21 feet in diameter and just keeps on growing past its estimated 1,500 years. Sneak a peek at the Pacific Ocean from Patrick’s Point, surrounded by lush ferns and mosses. Relax at the Trinidad Inn tonight.

Continue south along the coast to Eureka.

Along here, it’s not hard to imagine the relatively undisturbed California coast of a century ago – essentially, you are looking at it! Eventually the road veers inland following a remote river valley that feels likewise “lost in time.” After about 25 miles the grade kicks up dramatically as you begin the 2500’ ascent to Panther Gap – the summit for today’s ride. Or you can choose to do like many folks and opt for a scenic and relaxing boost over the pass in the van instead. Whichever method of transportation you choose, dizzying views over the Pacific Ocean and redwood forests await. After the descent, pedal a quiet road through the massive redwoods of Bull Creek before shuttling back to Ferndale for a second night at the Victorian Inn.

Ride your bike through a giant space between the roots of a living redwood. Options today range up to 50+ miles, if you’d like to do them all. Relax on the banks of the Eel River at the historic Benbow Inn tonight.

Hike Bull Creek redwoods.

Slow down and wind down with a hike along Bull Creek in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Savor the quiet serenity of the forest primeval – the largest old-growth redwood forest remaining in the world!

Straight Talk

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.

California Wine Country is a popular destination for cyclists and drivers alike, who’ve had to deal with increasing traffic congestion along the region's main thoroughfares over the years. Backroads strives to find quiet, off-the-beaten track routes, but due to the area's geography and the amount of ground we cover, there are routes on this trip with sections that follow more heavily trafficked roads. We’ll alert you in advance so you can bypass these areas in the shuttle, if you choose

#1 TOURING COMPANY IN WINDSOR, CA ★★★★★

This was the perfect day. It was well-organized, fun and we met some great people. The bike ride was beautiful and was a great way to experience wineries beyond the traditional car or bus. Our tour guide Jackie was a star!... it was the highlight of our Sonoma trip far above other organized winery tours.

Our family LOVED balloons, bikes and brews! Freida was such a wonderful tour guide! Our 3 twenty-somethings had a blast biking and visiting the area breweries. We highly recommend this tour!

This is by far the best bike tour I have been on.. did the brewery bike tour. Guide was amazing and very knowledgeable.. saw the gorgeous countryside of Windsor.. breweries were top notch! So much fun!

Frieda was amazing !! She was very knowledgeable about the tour. The bikes were very well-maintained and super comfortable. The tour she gave us was amazing. Would definitely do this again! Loved it! Loved it!

What an amazing day. We had a wonderful time biking through the vineyards... An absolute must for anyone wanting to enjoy the wine country for an afternoon.

We had such a great time on the tour! Can't say enough good things about our guide Gina.

Wow! What a great experience! We did the Bike & Brew tour today and could not have enjoyed it more... This is a very organized and professional company to book a tour with. Loved it!

The Sonoma Wine Country Bike Tour with Ace It! Is a must! No better way to see the wine country then to slow down and check out the beautiful views, smell the fresh air and taste awesome wines... We are definitely going to go on the Santa Rosa Bike ‘n Brew Tour next time!!

California Bike Tours

From a bike tour in San Francisco to Santa Barbara tours further south, the Golden State is truly a land of plenty. Roads carve the Pacific coastline and roll through stretches of mountain-encircled Santa Ynez. Gorgeous produce grows without effort and abundant vineyards prove you don’t need to visit Europe to enjoy world-class wine. Surfing beaches are only hours from snowy mountains; old-growth redwoods dispel the misconception that California is one of the union’s younger states.

Stop at farm stands and tasting rooms in Napa and Sonoma or spend a weekend in Santa Barbara, the wine country that’s gaining traction with oenophiles and sommeliers alike. Wherever your tours in California take you, you’ll find an oasis of beauty and gastronomy with appealing weather that lends itself to cycling year-round.

Grass-fed beef, local cheese, oysters from Northern California, a unique farm-to-table gastronomy called California cuisine, and the best of seasonal California produce: citrus, figs, avocados, berries, and almonds

In Southern California, cooler-climate wines like Chardonnay and Syrah; Napa and Sonoma’s world-famous Pinot Noirs, Zinfandels, and Cabernets; local craft beers

EXPLORE SOME OF OUR RECENT ADVENTURES IN SONOMA

Sonoma Valley Bike Tours

Explore beautiful Sonoma Valley in a fun, adventurous manner! Hop on a bike and explore the oldest wine valley in California or plan a guided bike tour with friends and travel to several outstanding wineries led by a local tour guide and enjoy a delicious lunch, behind the scenes access, great wine, picture perfect scenery and so much more. We will make sure you see all the best sites in Sonoma.

Whether you’re in the area for the wine tours (who doesn’t love a good wine tasting?) or you just want to see what this area of the country has to offer, our Sonoma tours are the perfect way to spend your time. It’s unique, exciting, relaxing, and just plain fun–all at the same time! Let us help create the highlight of your Sonoma vacation.

The Best Way To Spend A Saturday!

I spent a week in Sonoma with my husband, sister, and brother in-law to ring in the New Year. The day we went on our bike tour was the best day of our trip, hands-down.

We booked our trip through their website and received a confirmation email right away. Since we were traveling from the east coast, they made sure to let us know the importance of wearing multiple layers, and bringing biking gloves if we had our own. The night before our tour, Hunt sent me a text message to explain the meeting place, just north of the Plaza.

Everything about this tour was just wonderful - we learned the history of the area, as Hunt is a local. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and had a great sense of humor; our group loved him! The four of us all vary in our amount of regular exercise, though we consider ourselves generally healthy, active adults. The pace was perfect for everyone, and the wineries we visited were excellent.

I highly recommend this tour as a must! We plan on booking another tour with them (perhaps the full day) the next time we return.

BIG SUR ROAD BIKE TOUR

California coast santa barbara to big sur.

• Private Tours and Custom Tours Solos, Couples & Friends
• Departure: Santa Barbara, CA
• Departs On: Sunday
• Duration: 6 Days
• Lodging: Luxury Inns & Restaurants
• Fitness Level: 2-4
• Elevation Range: 0 - 2,000 ft.

Our tour is curated to contain all the biggest highlights of this little stretch of the Golden State’s coast. The view from your bike seat is animated by breathless sea cliffs, breaching Gray whales, and furtive sea otters. We’ll encounter rolling wine country and take on the iconic Highway 1, and hike amongst the noble Redwoods.

From the burly rawness of Big Sur to the picturesque Santa Barbara’s coastline, our brushstrokes in the saddle sweep past peaceful farmland and great spans of ocean. A dreamy, essentially California-quality light outlines each successive landscape.

Each epic day winds down to a relaxing evening. The non-biking part of your trip will be full of the small-town charm so unique to the Central Coast. Enjoy fresh clam chowder on the Pismo Beach pier. Sip on Pinot Noir from grapes grown in Monterrey. Drink in the Cali lifestyle at the pace that it is meant to be experienced; nice and slow.

Day 1: Loop through Wine Country

Meet in Santa Barbara. Then a short shuttle to Los Olivos (pop. 1138): one of a handful of small communities dotting the bucolic Santa Ynez Valley. Saddle up for a legwarmer ride, sweeping past the windy vineyard roads mixed with humble farmlands of the Santa Ynez. Halfway through our ride, we stop in Solvang, some 46-miles northwest of Santa Barbara. Solvang (pop. 5245) is a 107-year old Danish colony, replete with windmills and Scandinavian architecture. Besides walking streets and handsome dining spots, the area around Solvang claims many wine and olive oil tastings. After some traditional Danish food, we bike back to Los Olivos. That evening, we catch some zzz’s at a handsome Air BNB in Santa Inez(zz).

Day 2: Los Olivos to Pismo

Waking to the valley’s cool, embracing air, our first order of business is to shoot toward the coast. We follow a cycling touring route that swerves into Pismo Beach, a classic Central Coast community (pop 7931). We stop at the Monarch Butterfly Grove. Walking distance from the ocean, tens of thousands of Monarch butterflies gather here to flit around the aromatic Eucalyptus. Day Two closes out with a phenomenal dinner overlooking the ocean.

Day 3: Pismo to Cambria

Sometimes a good vacation means a chill half day. Day three we shuttle to Morro Bay. Yes, home of the famous Morro Rock! At nearly 600′ tall, it is actually what is called a ‘volcanic plug.’ This is just a fancy way of saying it was a vent in a very old volcano. From our giant rock friend, we bike to Cambria (pop. 6000), a low-fi art colony tucked into the Pines. After that, we enjoy the beach, the small town vibes, and relax.

Day 4: Cambria to Big Sur 

Today we ride in close proximity to Hearse Castle. So keep your eyes peeled, you might see a zebra! To start the day, we bike out and back on a beautiful, lightly-trafficked farm road in Cambria. We lunch in Cambria then ride to an elephant seal viewing point. You might have to cover your ears! The elephant seals haven’t quite mastered ‘whispering’… or anything below bellowing. The ride ends at point Sierra Nevada trailhead south. Day four also has an opportunity for a scenic hike when we shuttle to the town of Big Sur. Big Sur is so gorgeous with its seaside cliffs framed by Redwoods, you’re going to want to tag along for this one.

Day 5: Big Sur to Point Lobos

Today is the day for comfy shoes and a camera! We hike 8 miles around Point Lobos: a broad sweep of raw coastal park with a refreshingly anti-industrial tourism/keep-it-real vibe. After a lunch in the park, the afternoon is a ‘choose your own adventure’. The choice is yours, a rail to trail bike path or the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. Not to steer you away from a great ride, but the Aquarium of Monterrey touts 35,000 animals plus 550 plant species.

Day 6: Monterrey and 17-Mile Drive

Our last ride in the bike saddle is the world-famous 17-Mile Drive. Privately managed and minimally traveled, this phenomenal cycling route follows a smooth roadbed that hugs the coastline, from Pebble Beach to Pacific Grove. Sweeping through a wind sculpted grove of Cypress trees, we take in the unique, architectural eye-candy of the local estates. Lunch in Monterrey. When all is said and done, we shuttle back to San Juan airport for a warm goodbye to the Central Coast.

13-year-old dies of injuries from hit-and-run while riding his bike

GLENDALE, Ariz. (KPHO/Gray News) - A 13-year-old Arizona boy who was struck by a driver in a hit-and-run while riding his bike nearly two weeks ago has died.

Glendale Police and the family of 13-year-old Elias Bizzle confirmed the teenager died from his injuries Tuesday. On April 11, he and some friends were out riding their bikes. Police say the group was crossing an intersection using the crosswalk when Elias was hit, KPHO reports .

The suspected driver, identified by police as 27-year-old Joshua Holbert, allegedly fled the scene in his Chevrolet Trailblazer, as friends and bystanders attempted to save Elias. The teenager was rushed to the hospital and put on life support but ultimately succumbed to his injuries.

Family gathered at the crash site last Saturday to pray for Elias. The teen’s mother, Victoria Bizzle, told KPHO at that time he suffered brain damage, road rash and a broken jaw and femur.

“It is pure torture to see your 13-year-old laying so helpless, and you can’t do nothing about it. You can’t do anything about it, just pray,” Bizzle said.

She added there was no excuse for the suspect to not stop and help her son.

“This monster turned my world upside down, and all I want is my son. I just want my son,” Bizzle said. “He didn’t deserve this. No one deserves this.”

In the days after the crash, police used traffic cameras and surveillance videos to track Holbert’s Trailblazer to an apartment complex. Court documents say the American flag that was attached to the vehicle at the time of the crash had been removed, and the vehicle was parked in such a way as to hide the damage.

Holbert eventually turned himself in, allegedly stating he was involved in the crash, didn’t help the victim and fled the scene, returning to his apartment, police said. He faces charges of leaving the scene of an accident involving death or injury.
