Our bicycle journey combines aspects of a recreational cycling event with those of a spiritual pilgrimage. Riders will meet the physical and mental challenges of the 137-mile route and, along with the volunteer crew, create a traveling community of spiritual seekers.

The journey winds along the scenic backroads of Marin, Sonoma, and Mendocino counties. We'll stop at several Buddhist centers and include time for meditation and Dharma teachings. Teachers from Spirit Rock and Abhayagiri will join the group as our spiritual guides. Meals, refreshments, mechanical assistance, first aid, gear transportation, and camping accommodations will be offered. Carpooling to the starting point and home from the finish is provided by participants themselves.

In the Buddhist tradition, this ride is supported by voluntary contributions (dana) from riders and friends.
