Central Coast Classico
VINTAGE BIKES. ICONIC ROADS. PURE CYCLING.
The Central Coast Classico is a three-day cycling festival in Cambria, California that celebrates the soul of cycling—where steel frames from the past come to play with the modern bikes of now. This new event brings together heritage craftsmanship, challenging coastal routes, and a community-first spirit set against quiet back roads, rolling green hills, and unforgettable scenery.
The main rides of the Central Coast Classico will take place on Saturday, April 25, and be spread across two different categories. Each category will have two options for routes—both of them non-timed, loaded with their own local challenges, and complemented by awesome Central Coast views.
Vintage Category: Honoring cycling heritage—steel bikes from pre-1987 era encouraged
Modern Category: Open to contemporary road and gravel bikes
