Why spin on a trainer or ride in the cold when you can train in the mountains all winter long in sunny southern California! Many pro teams are now using Agoura Hills as a winter basecamp for training and now you can too. Choose your basecamp for the week. Stay at the Marriott Renaisance in Agoura Hills, or for those on a budget, you may also choose to attend just the Climbing Camp with no hotels or meals included.

On this winter bike tour we start in San Diego and ride over Cuyamaca Mountain Park to Anza Borrego Desert State Park, our basecamp for the next two nights. After a loop through the park we ride along the Salton Sea up to Palm Springs, and then loop back through the Temecula Wine Country and along the coast back to San Diego. Along the way we'll climb over two mountain ranges, ride a loop through Anza Borrego Desert Park, explore Palm Springs night life, and ride the scenic pacific coast route from Oceanside through La Jolla and Mission Beach on our way back to San Diego for a total of 400 winter miles!

With balmy days and colorful nights, Palm Springs is the perfect launch pad for either long flat centuries or big climbs up into the San Bernardino National Forest. Palm Springs sits at an elevation of 440 feet, while San Jacinto Peak towers 10,834 feet above it. We start the week with a bang by riding the popular Tour de Palm Springs Century route. From there we ride up into Joshua Tree National Park. In our two days riding through the park, we will pass through three ecological zones and two deserts, the Mojave and Sonoran. We'll also climb up into the San Bernardino Mountains that tower above the Palm Springs valley, and take a tram ride 8,500' above the valley floor to have dinner with a view!
