North Coast Challenge (NC2) - June 23rd to June 29th 2024, is a faith based riding group that serves to support a chosen charity each year by its participants. This year, we have chosen Frontline First. Solutions that help in many different ways reduce the harmful impact caused by critical and traumatic events experienced by our first responders and combat veterans. learn more about their services at: FrontLine First | Sacramento, CA

NC2 is for anyone who is interested in bicycling as a fun form of exercise and a challenge for both the avid cyclist as well as those who haven't been on a bicycle in years. 

NC2 is a 6 day, 333 mile ride (about 55 miles a day) starting just South of Eureka in Fortuna, CA and finishes by crossing the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

HISTORY of the North Coast Challenge

The bicycle ride was initially formed with the primary purpose of continuing to encourage those who had worked so hard and achieved so much to continue riding.

With the continued interest and excitement each year, the bicycle club has expanded to offer a variety of weekend and mid-week rides as well as special events throughout the year covering a variety of terrains and levels of difficulty, abilities and interest. From January through June the ride schedule will include training rides of increasing distance and difficulty to prepare for the more challenging rides and events held throughout the season.

The ride offers one of the greatest adventures of a lifetime. Winding your way through the Avenue of the Giants from Fortuna to San Francisco, riders are fully supported. An enthusiastic crew will drive Support & Gear (SAG) vehicles, cook all meals (and clean up), and provide transportation to our starting location and from our finishing point.
