Choose your riding adventure and take in the best of Monterey and the Salinas Valley; Sea Otter offers two Gran Fondo options and an off-road tour that welcomes mountain and gravel bikes alike. All are untimed rides for all ages and abilities, including eBikes and recumbent cycles.

· Gran Fondo Carmelo presented by Cycling Tips begins on Friday, April 21st and features a new course for 2023; 92-miles of touring across the diverse landscapes and agriculture of Salinas Valley (think: broccoli, artichokes, strawberries and, of course, grapes!).

· Gran Fondo Pacifico presented by Cycling Tips is an unforgettable 50-mile ride along the historic California coast starting early Sunday, April 23rd. Check this iconic event off your cycling bucket list as you roll immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of the Pacific Ocean. 

· The Robles Tour also held on Sunday, covers a diverse collection of terrain across a 26-mile off-road trek uniquely designed for both MTB and gravel riders. Robles combines forest service roads and smooth trails for a stunning ride among the oaks across the historic Fort Ord National Monument.

NEW FOR 2023 Robles riders can choose to ride the full 26-mile course or sample the shortened 10-mile course that is designed for the whole family to ride.

Having trouble deciding? Make it a double! Ride Carmelo on Friday and either the Pacifico or the Robles Tour on Sunday!
