Gran Fondos, Centuries & Ultra Cycling Events

TourOfCalifornia.org covers organized cycling events and personal bicycle rides in California. Events range from flat and fast gran fondos & centuries to epic super centuries and double centuries as well as multi-day tours. I created the site to document rides I have completed, preserving memories and hoping to provide information and inspiration.

Enjoy,
