The exhilaration that comes from conquering 200 miles of the most scenic and demanding terrain, is not the only highlight.

The experience is enhanced by knowing that those riding beside you, who are paralyzed, missing a leg or visually impaired, are able to make the journey because of your support. Your support literally changes lives through the gift of sport.

A First Class Ride from the Golden Gate through the Sonoma Vineyards

The 200 mile journey begins in the idyllic waterfront community of Sausalito, CA. On Friday night participants enjoy a welcome dinner and overnight accommodations at Cavallo Point Lodge, a historic landmark nestled at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge known for luxury and harmony within its national park setting.

Cyclists will depart Saturday morning on a 100 mile (or metric century) route that follows the serene Northern California coastline. The route along Highway One winds through open grasslands, rolling hills, and the many bays and inlets that mark this undisturbed part of California's coastline. Sunday’s return ride sends you along some of the epic routes of Sonoma Valley and through vineyards, farmland and quaint Wine Country towns.

A return to Cavallo Point brings the weekend to a close but not before the riders are rewarded for their accomplishment and support of CAF.

Your $3,000 minimum fundraising entry gets you top notch amenities:

  • Beautiful stays at Cavallo Point and the Doubletree Hotel Sonoma
  • All food and beverage
  • Daily recovery massage
  • Bike transport from San Diego
  • CAF custom cycling apparel including a jerseys, vest, and accessories
  • Gourmet picnic lunch at a scenic location on both days
  • Support provided along the route by a team of enthusiastic guides, mechanics, and volunteers
