Solvang Spring Tour Join us for this club-style week. Experience the best rides in Southern California’s most popular cycling region. Our routes will inspire you with beauty and challenge you with plenty of miles and lots of climbing. Riders can choose between one or two routes most days – long (60-100 miles) or medium (40-60). All totally fun and non-competitive (though some folks do come to train, and ride hard and fast). All easily self-supported. We like this tour to have a “club” feel… Just hanging out with friends, enjoying the scenery. We definitely take our time and smell the… poppies!
