The Pacific Coast Bike Route

With an achievable $2 per mile, $3,750 total fundraising target, there’s no more cost effective way to travel. Funds raised will go towards supporting those living with MS across the US, as well as raising awareness for multiple sclerosis and funding research to find a cure.

You can raise these funds in a way that best suits you. That can be fully funded by donors, a mix of donors and self funded or fully self funded.

With an initial registration donations of just $50, the majority of trip related items are covered such as vehicle support, route leaders, a team cycling jersey, overnight accommodation and much more. This leaves you only having to worry about travel costs to and from the trip and food during the bike ride.

Arranging your own food allows you to eat at your budget, whether that’s cooking in camp every evening, eating out throughout or a mixture of the two.

We will arrange the accommodation for the cycling trip, including in Seattle for the night of orientation and at the finish in San Diego. To allow us to donate as much of your hard earned fundraising as possible, our accommodations are minimalist.

The team often stays at generous hosts on route. This includes a mix of camping, staying at churches, town halls and community centres. If preferred, you have the option to book alternative accommodation.

Regarding your bike and biking equipment, it’s important to be comfortable on your bike and have trained on it. However, we’re here to help if you need advice on bike rentals or any other equipment. Once registered, we’ll provide a comprehensive gear list detailing everything you’ll need for a successful and enjoyable ride.

Yes, eBikes are welcome on the Pacific Coast bike route. We understand that eBikes can make the challenge more accessible and enjoyable for some riders.

However, it’s important to ensure your eBike is suitable for long-distance touring and is capable of handling the route’s varied terrain. Please be mindful of the battery range and plan accordingly, as charging opportunities may be limited depending on the daily itinerary and type of accommodation.

We recommend sourcing a second battery for the trip so you always have a backup and can have it charging while out riding.
