Despre activitate
Experience world-famous 17-Mile Drive and charming Carmel-by-the-Sea in one spectacular eBike adventure!
Starting just outside the Pacific Grove Gate, ride into Pebble Beach and along its legendary coastline, passing dramatic ocean vistas, wildlife, famous golf courses, incredible mansions and iconic landmarks including the Lone Cypress and The Lodge at Pebble Beach.
From the Lodge, continue into Carmel-by-the-Sea to explore its fairy-tale cottages, tree-lined streets, beautiful homes and spectacular Scenic Road along Carmel Beach.
Our powerful eBikes make the hills easy, but this is NOT a beginner tour. The ~20-mile, 3–3.5 hour route includes sections between The Lodge and Carmel with heavier traffic, no bike lanes and speeds approaching 20 mph.
ADVANCED, CONFIDENT CYCLISTS ONLY. Riders must be comfortable riding alongside traffic and controlling a bike at higher speeds.
