About the Event


The Million Dollar Challenge (MDC) is one of the premier bike rides in the world.  A seven-day, 620-mile journey down the breathtaking California coastline from San Francisco to San Diego, this epic experience is limited to 100 cyclists who enjoy an exclusive and fully supported ride that starts in San Francisco and includes stops in some of California's most picturesque and towns.  From the kick-off in the city we ride to Santa Cruz, Big Sur, Pismo Beach, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Dana Point and then finish with our final ride in celebration in La Jolla.

MDC is unique in that it combines challene cycling with first class service and accommodations while riding alongside some some of the most inspiring challenged athletes that you could meet.
