If a half day is all the time you can afford (or convince your spouse to do) for a San Luis Obispo guided bike tour, then we have the tour for you. All our half day bicycle tours include our top notch guides and route support as well as a gourmet picnic lunch.

“We so enjoyed our bike ride along the Pacific Coast Highway... We want to compliment you on a wonderful experience from start to fabulous finish. Your knowledge of the area and surroundings was great. We loved the ride and the "no pressure" way of letting us ride at our own pace... The gourmet picnic lunch was out of this world. It was so pleasant and relaxing after the ride... If anyone asks us what's fun out there in California, you can be sure we will point them in your direction.” Natalie and Tom Hosp Fort Meyers, Florida

It is challenging to come up with a difficulty rating system that is relevant for everyone. A very fit cyclist might consider our "Moderately Strenuous" trips to not be hard at all, while someone who exercises infrequently or is not used to cycling might find a "Moderately Easy" tour to be quite a challenge. Our bicycle tour rating system is based on the approximate fitness level of a casual recreational cyclist who rides at least once per week and rides over fifteen miles on a regular basis. If you ride less or more than this, please adjust your expectations of the tour accordingly. To flesh out the rather subjective difficulty rating, we also include the distance for each tour and a terrain description. We are also available by phone to discuss the difficulty of any of our tours.

We feature Norco Performance Bikes. You have the choice of a hybrid bike with upright handlebars or a road bike with drop (racing style) handlebars. Both bikes are designed for efficient travel on the road and have Shimano components. Both styles have a map case attached to the handlebars and the hybrids also have a rear rack bag to store gear. We stock a variety of frame sizes to fit your needs. Please supply your desired bike type, height and pedal preference when you reserve a trip so we can pick the appropriate bike for you.
