Take on the challenge on this legendary bike cours Take on the challenge on this legendary bike course up scenic Highway 1, down through quaint @cayucosca, and back to @morrobayca.

Need bike help or bike gear? @foothillcyclery will hook you up with neutral bike support before the race 6:00 am-7:30 am near the transition area.

Our top priority is safety! We partner with @chp_slo_official, AWP Safety, @morrobaypd, and @caltrans_d5 to safely close one lane of Highway 1 northbound for our race. However, this is not a closed course. Racers, please make sure to follow ALL California traffic laws and obey flaggers, traffic officers, and signage, especially at intersections and offramps. Failure to do so may result in disqualification. We'll also have volunteers and a motorcyclist sweep on bike course. Be sure to thank them as you ride by!

Spectators, get ready to cheer on our athletes! Athletes, we'll see you soon.
