EPIC CALIFORNIA
RIDE THE EDGE OF CALIFORNIA - COAST TO DESERT
From Ocean Breeze to Desert Silence.
California reveals its true magic where the Pacific coast collides with the vastness of the desert. In just a few days of riding, you’ll live two worlds that feel light-years apart — yet connected by the power of your legs and the freedom of the bike.
This is Epic California: a journey from San Diego’s sun-kissed coastline to the raw immensity of Anza-Borrego Desert. It’s a ride of contrasts, endurance, and discovery — where the ocean air gives way to desert winds, and every climb takes you deeper into landscapes that feel untamed, timeless, and unforgettable.
Epic California is designed for intermediate to advanced road cyclists seeking both challenge and beauty. The climbs are real, the distances are demanding, and the rewards are immense. If you crave a ride that blends endurance, exploration, and the pure spirit of California, this journey is for you.
The Coast: San Diego’s Cycling Paradise
The adventure begins in San Diego, a city where cycling is part of daily life. Ocean views, palm-lined roads, and perfect year-round weather set the stage for your first miles. From the gentle rhythm of coastal routes to the iconic climbs like Mount Soledad and Torrey Pines, San Diego offers the perfect warm-up before the desert calls.
The Desert: Anza-Borrego’s Endless Horizons
Crossing east, the scenery shifts dramatically. The lush coast falls away as the road dives into canyons and climbs into the high desert. Soon, the vast expanse of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park unfolds — California’s largest state park and a cyclist’s dream of wide-open roads, rugged terrain, and starlit nights. Here, the silence is profound, the climbs are long, and the reward is the feeling of riding at the edge of the world.
A Story You Will Never Forget
This tour is more than a ride. It’s a transformation. One moment you’re spinning along the Pacific with surfers in sight, and hours later you’re carving switchbacks into desert mountains, surrounded by cacti and endless horizons. It’s a reminder of California’s power to surprise, to challenge, and to inspire.
And through it all, you’re guided by 7sherpas experts — riders who know every turn, every hidden café, every lookout that deserves a pause. With full support, curated routes, and seamless logistics, all you have to do is ride.
This is the adventure that stays with you long after the last mile. Epic.
