California Coast Classic: 525 Miles, 250 Riders, 8 Days, 1 Mission

We’re riding for a world where people with arthritis live a life without limits.

Take an unforgettable ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles! The award-winning California Coast Classic stands the test of time for great reasons. Known for its stunning scenery, exceptional support, and warm community, this self-paced cycling adventure is the winner of Gran Fondo Guide’s Best Charity Bike Tour Award and it’s the Arthritis Foundation’s flagship destination cycling experience.

Beginner and experienced cyclists can participate in this fully-supported bucket list ride along California's iconic Highway 1 each fall, pedaling along the Pacific Ocean, through wineries, harbors, seaside farms, redwood forests, and coastal towns. We’re on a mission to help the millions of people who journey with arthritis.
