For 40 years the Tour of the Unknown Coast has been California’s Toughest Century Ride and among the most beautiful rides anywhere. For 2018 we’re stepping up our game and along with taking finish times are also taking intermediate times at the Dyerville Overlook (100 kilometer turnaround) and at the base of the infamous “Wall.” We’ll also have medals for the top three men and women in each ride.
You will have ridden one of the world’s toughest 100 mile courses when you complete this great ride.
Riders can expect to experience a variety of weather changes. Inland can be warm, while the higher altitudes can be cold, and the area along the ocean is usually windy. Riders should come prepared. At AW Way Park there is a full lunch provided: Water, fruit, bagels, sandwiches and cookies. This is a rain or shine ride.

Extra Information
VINTAGE CATEGORY: As we approach our 40th year we thought it would be cool to add a vintage category of the type that have become so popular around the world. Dust off your old bike, get your old kit out of mothballs and come out for a great day of riding. Vintage Bike Prizes: A special retro-look jersey will be awarded to the owner of the bike that our judges deem to be the most authentic 1986 or prior. We'll have some other cool goodies for second and third too. If you have a vintage kit to go with your bike, wear it --- it will be part of the judging. Judging will be in Bellotti Hall (where we do registration) on Friday, May 19 at 6:30 pm. Vintage Ride Prizes: Vintage category riders will be timed separately in the 100 mile, 100 kilometer and 50 mile rides. Medals to the top 3 in each ride and the fastest finisher in the 100-mile will be awarded a special retro-look jersey.
