This will be a 20 day bicycle Tour starting 1 June 2006. The tour will take in some of the most scenic areas of California and the plan will be to fly to Las Vegas just over the border in Nevada and then cycle over two days to Death Valley.

We will spend 2 days at Furnace Creek in the centre of the valley with early morning or evening rides to explore the area. Then across the valley riding in the early morning and with overnight stops at Stovepipe Wells and Paramint Springs.

Then we ride on to Yosemite National Park where we spend 3 nights and explore this spectacular area.Then we ride across to San Francisco from where we fly back.

Three will take part in the ride, all members of UK Cyclists Touring Clubs on the South Coast. Myself, Edwin Jones from West Sussex and Martin Greening and Peter Tindley from Dorset.

Martin and Peter a few years ago in the deserts of Utah
