JOIN US FOR A FUN FILLED WEEKEND TOURING the quiet coastal towns of Ferndale, Honeydew and Petrolia. The start/finish will be in Ferndale and will consist of two extremely hilly, but scenic days -- 65 miles on Saturday and 35 miles on Sunday.

This ride explores the lush Eel River, climbs up through the Ave. of the Giants, turning west at the Rockefeller Redwoods and up the prolonged climb to Panther Gap, then down to the Honeydew. The first night's camping is on the Mattole River at A.W. Way County Campground and campground fees, luggage transfer from the start and Saturday's night dinner is all included in the registration fee.

We haul all your stuff, you just enjoy the scenery.

Sunday's breakfast is provided by the Mattole Valley Grange Hall (around $4.00-$5.00, payable that morning). Sunday's ride take you down to the Mendocino Coast and up the legendary WALL then back down to sea level before climbing up the Shadow of the WALL on your way back to Ferndale.
