Experience one part wine country, one part Danish culture, and all parts epic cycling on this sunny California ride camp.

Solvang may seem like just another stop in wine country for most California tourists, but it's truly something special for cyclists. Hosting a time trial for the Tour of California multiple times and serving as a base camp for pro teams during spring training, Solvang offers excellent opportunities for boosting fitness with an epic ride up the infamous Gibraltar climb or a spin through Foxen Canyon. And after your rides, don't forget to sample a wine or two, and perhaps a taste of Abelskiver, the local Danish pastry - this is a vacation, after all.

What Guests are Saying

Great trip to kickstart the cycling season. It is designed to continually step up the effort throughout the week...Oh and did I mention the value; can't imagine how you pack that much value into a full week of biking. A great package! Thanks for keeping it within reach of aspiring cyclists.

The amazing bikes, expert guides, and incredible support. This trip was topped off only by the stunning (and well explained) routes and well paced and spaced rides. The Solvang area in spring is NOT to be missed! The food was gourmet farm to table. I am already planning my next trip!

The guides, bikes, format, level of support, lodging, and meals were above what we expected. We have been on several bike tours before and this was one of the best, even though it was 'only' a ride camp. We especially appreciated the bikes for the Solvang terrain. Trek Travel ranks at the top with the best of them as far as bike tours are concerned! At no point did we ever feel that we were getting the "budget trip" treatment, and we felt that we were always treated with the highest respect from both of our guides.

I came to get my butt kicked - and mission accomplished! The riding was exactly what I needed - the routes were awesome - hard and fun.

Great Ride

Jalama Beach

From Solvang to the sea, you'll pedal through the vineyards and valleys straight to Jalama Beach County Park and the famous Jalama Beach Store & Grill. Take a dip in the ocean, or if you're feeling a challenge, take on the Jalama Burger Challenge.
