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.

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.

Today is a great day to get your legs moving on the 2009 Amgen Tour of California time-trial course, pedaling along 15 miles (24 km) where professional Levi Leipheimer dominated three years in a row. You can then choose to add on a short, yet beautiful climb up Alisal Road which takes you from downtown Solvang, the heart of "Little Denmark," and back in time through the old Nojoqui Rancho that survives today in the Alisal Ranch. Though you are never really far from "civilization", the dense sycamores overarching the road give a far-distant feel, and include just enough of a climb to get those legs warm for the week ahead. Journey back to Solvang to check into your hotel room and relax until you join the group for a quick 10 minute shuttle to Buellton for dinner. Read More

Non-riders are welcome on a Ride Camp trip if they are staying in the same room with a riding guest. The riding guest will be required to pay the single supplement fee for a private room and a meal package ($200 for 7-day trips which includes all breakfasts and four dinners or $100 for 4-day trips which includes all breakfasts and two dinners) for the non-rider to dine with the group].

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.
Your Trip Need to Knows:
Santa Barbara, California
Santa Barbara is a lively cosmopolitan city with plenty of opportunities for shopping, nightlife, and outdoor recreation. You can also explore some of southern California’s other coastal cities, including Ventura, the inland Ojai, or the big one, Los Angeles, which is located approximately 90 minutes south of Santa Barbara. We recommend the following accommodations for your pre- and post-trip hotel:
Where to Stay
Santa Barbara Inn
The Santa Barbara Inn is located just across the street from the Pacific Ocean—the perfect location for the start of your Cross Country cycling journey. Its red tile rooftop, white stucco and handcrafted tile domes showcase Santa Barbara's Spanish Mediterranean architectural style. Enjoy view of the palm trees from the heated pool, and get a good night's sleep in your elegantly appointed room complete with a pillow-top bed, plush bedding, a bathrobe and slippers, and blackout blinds. www.santabarbarainn.com
Hotel Milo
The colorful grounds of Hotel Milo blend beach-chic décor and classic Spanish Colonial architecture in an enviable waterfront location. This cozy property is located just a short walk from the Marina, Stearns Wharf, State Street, and many other Santa Barbara attractions and activities. Open your windows, sit in the courtyard, or relax in a poolside cabana to take in the refreshing sea breeze and the vibrant atmosphere along the oceanfront of this wonderful city. www.hotelmilosantabarbara.com
Hotel Californian
This hotel may be called Californian, but it's pure Santa Barbara, from its Funk Zone location to its two signature restaurants. You'll lavish in every luxurious touch, whether it's taking a break on the rooftop pool with a panoramic view of the palm trees and Pacific shoreline or treating your skin to a decadent purist oil blend at the surreal spa. The rooms are a magical mix of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and Moroccan flourishes, with modern touches from celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. And even the facade tells a special story, with history dating back to the original 1925 hotel itself. www.hotelcalifornian.com
