Best Coast Summer Series

Guided Group Rides

Thanks for checking out our Summer Series!

​

Due to public health concerns around COVID-19, our Summer Series is on hold. As soon as we are sure public campgrounds can re-open, and it's safe to travel in groups, we'll send an update on our plans for the summer. Sign up for our newsletter to stay connected, and hope to see you on the road later in 2020! 

Best Coast Biking is offering special Summer Series rides! We’re hosting two group trips to our favorite spots on the West Coast. On top of receiving our signature services, you’ll also get to ride with one of BCB’s co-founders, enjoy some delicious campsite meals, and get to ride with other bike touring enthusiasts in the great outdoors.
