NORTHERN CALIFORNIA EVENTS SHOWCASE NEW SIERRA CASCADES BICYCLE ROUTE

ACA Press Release: New 2,389-mile route will guide cyclists along the splendor of the Pacific Crest Adventure Cycling Association's executive director Jim Sayer will visit California from April 13-16 to showcase the Association's brand new 2,389-mile Sierra Cascades Bicycle Route and to share the latest news on bicycle travel and adventures in North America. Events will be held at Rickshaw Bagworks in San Francisco and at Louden Nelson Community Center in Santa Cruz (see below for event details). A 2,389-mile road-based journey, the new route stretches from Sumas, Washington through the Cascade Range into Oregon, southward through the Sierra Nevada Range, to the Tehachapi and San Bernardino Mountains in Southern California, ending in Tecate, California, at the Mexican border. The route roughly parallels the Pacific Crest, passing around and through many of North America's mountain gems, from Mount Rainier and Mount Hood to Lake Tahoe, Yosemite and Kings Canyon National Parks. The Sierra Cascades Bicycle Route takes the Adventure Cycling Route Network over 40,000 miles (40,633, to be precise), the equivalent of riding around the planet more than one-and-a-half times! Adventure Cycling's network is the largest mapped cycling route system in the world. Sierra Cascades maps will be available later in April or early May.Spread the Adventure!
