Lake Berryessa to Clearlake – 4 days
This is a beautiful ride encompassing Lake Berryessa to Clearlake alongside the lakes, through vineyards, California’s golden hills and bits of forest. A good portion of the roads are very lightly traveled by cars and trucks. The roads are used by several “locals” for their century rides. So you will be traveling on a portion of the Tour of Napa Valley, the Knoxville Double and the Konocti Challenge. Although we are starting and ending at the same location, we will be making a loop so you will see even more of this rural section of California. Cost: $470

Glacier National Park – 7 days
By far our most popular ride. If you’ve never been to Glacier National Park, this is a ride that should not be missed. The ride meets north of Kalispell and heads through the Flathead Valley before entering Glacier National Park. We will climb Going to the Sun Road (completed in 1932, it is a National Historical Landmark) up and over Logan Pass (at 6,646’ elevation) before descending into St. Mary. On our rest day, there are many other activity choices – hiking, boating, fishing, bus touring. The next day’s ride heads out toward Browning before ending at East Glacier. Two more days of riding through the area brings us back to our starting point.” Cost: $830.

Konocti Challenge Plus - 4 days
Discover some wonderful roads in Lake County on this long weekend getaway. We will meet on Thursday afternoon/evening at Clear Lake State Park. This is a beautiful park on the lake close to the town of Kelseyville.
Friday’s ride will be a loop into Lakeport where you will have the opportunity to wander around this busy community. After crossing Hwy 29, the roads become more rural. You will ride past farms, vineyards and orchards. Eventually the route goes through Kelseyville, a quaint town with interesting shops. Just before returning to camp, there is a good view of Mt. Konocti. (30 miles)
Saturday is the Konocti Challenge hosted by the Rotary Club of Lakeport. The ride begins in Lakeport. You will be registered for the 65 mile ride. This is included in the cost of the tour.
Sunday we will again be starting our ride in Lakeport. We quickly leave town to enjoy quiet roads. The route takes you around Laurel Dell Lake and Blue Lakes. The final stretch of today’s ride brings you back along the shoreline of Clear Lake. (40 miles)

Sierra Foothills/Yosemite National Park – 6 days
We will start at Groveland, the gateway to Yosemite. Our layover day will be in the Yosemite Valley. A stop at the Moccasin Creek Fish Hatchery and Moccasin Powerhouse after descending Priest Grade can be a nice respite (water and bathrooms) before continuing the ride into Coulterville. Coulterville is another wild west town with interesting places to visit before heading back up to Groveland. And that’s only the first day! The second day will be another exploration of the Sierras around Groveland. Day three will finally find us riding into Yosemite Valley where we will take a day off the bikes to explore this wondrous area. The final day will be a ride back through the Park and into Groveland. Cost $720.
