Event OverviewThe course of Seismic Challenge 4.0 will follow the San Andreas Fault from Fort Bragg, CA to the Russian River. Cyclists will be riding almost entirely on the beautiful Northern California coastline for 100 miles. With approximately 2 turns, it doesn't get less complicated!We decided to make a weekend out of it, so transportation up to Fort Bragg takes place on Saturday morning, October 1st. Buses will take cyclists north to Willits, CA where they will hop on the historic Skunk Train. (Bikes will be transported directly to Fort Bragg) Our generous partners at The Skunk Train have donated the use of their locomotive, to give cyclists a unique start to the weekend with a journey through the coastal redwoods to Fort Bragg. The train has multiple cars, including a "bar car" and an open-air car to fully enjoy the sights. Lunch will also be provided on the train. Once in Fort Bragg, Cyclists will be dropped off at the designated event hotels. Cyclists are required to secure their own hotel accomodations - Click here for a list of Fort Bragg hotels offering discounts. Many local restaurants will be providing discounts for event participants at various locations around town, in order to get some pre-ride carbo loading. On Sunday, October 2nd, Cyclists will be shuttled to the start line at the Skunk Train Depot in downtown Fort Bragg where the fun begins at sunrise!
