Arriving

Guests arrive at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) the afternoon before the first day of riding. a For The Ride guide will transportyou to one of the unique inns in the Santa Monica/Malibu area.

Day One

Today we shuttle to the start of the ride high in the Malibu Mountains where we will traverse the Malibu ridge as we traverse some of the finest (and most expensive) coastal property in the world. Home to stars and the extremely wealthy, Malibu offers breathtaking views, temperate weather year-round, and a network of fire access roads and singletrack that will thrill and excite.

Dinner will be at one of our favorite Los Angeles eateries - there are so many to choose from!

Day Two

After a hearty breakfast, the bikes are loaded and we shuttle slightly east to our next destination in the Hollywood Hills and surrounding areas. You’ll ride Dirt Mulholland and transition to Rocky Peak near Simi Valley. (18-24 miles)

Tonight we dine in another of many great restaurants.

Day Three

Today we drive south to Orange County for two nights in the coastal city of Laguna Beach. After checking in, we ride north on Pacific Coast Highway to El Moro Canyon, a regional multi-use wilderness preserve located on the coast. Riding consists of rolling hills, fire access roads, and singletrack. Did we mention the ocean views? (15 – 25 miles).

Day Four

Our final day is another great riding area located just to the east of Laguna Beach – Aliso Woods Canyon. Guests can opt to climb to “The Top of the World” in Laguna to the park entrance or shuttle to the top for the start of the ride.
