Join the MMRF Road to Victories team as we take on this incredible cycling route. Legendary Napa Valley and Sonoma vineyards. Soaring redwood forests. And the dramatic Sonoma Coast. This is Northern California. And for you, it’s a fantastic week and an incredible California Wine Country bike tour, all to accelerate a cure for multiple myeloma.
This six-day adventure (seven including travel) will bring cyclists through stunning California Wine Country. This tour had endless opportunity for challenge and adventure with exhilarating elevation gain, incredible vistas, and rewarding accomplishments.
The Road to Victories events offer our team various distances to ride each day, depending on strength and ability, but make no mistake: participants need to train for this challenge (we will help you with our 12-week training plan). We will start and end each day as a team, ride at our own pace, and at the end of the day share our adventures, memories, and more!
