3-Day Golden State Epic
Ride big point-to-point miles on the most scenic roads of California’s Central Coast.
There’s no better place to ride during the fall than California’s central coast. This scenic coast ride will depart from Monterey making its way south to the Santa Ynez Valley in 3 days of riding. Each day presents new climbs to be conquered and new views to be seen. Some of the world’s best riders have raced on these challenging roads during the Amgen Tour of California making this camp extra special.
At the 3-Day Golden State Epic, you will be treated like a professional cyclist in every way: from daily massages, to professional mechanical support, to on-the-bike coaching. At this camp, we will focus on long endurance miles to keep your ride volume up as the traditional cycling season comes to a close. The camp will end with a challenging ride across the Santa Ynez Valley with our CTS office being the final destination.
