21 Years and Still Riding
Welcome to GEARs. The Greater Eugene Area Riders is a non-profit organization with the mission to promote and encourage bicycle riding for transportation and recreation. We coordinate weekly rides, provide safety and skill education, defend the rights and responsibilities of bike riders, and work to enhance the bicycle culture in Eugene and surrounding area. Membership in GEARs has its rewards! In addition to all of the rides and advocacy work we do, there are additional benefits. Local bike shops and other businesses are now offering discounts for GEARs members. Join GEARs Now.

Countryside Pizza & Grill, 645 River Road The California Coast from Crescent City to San Luis Obispo
Please travel with us as we take you down the beautiful California Coast covering 720 miles in 12 days. Ray Hull and Garry Swanson will present their trip from 2008 that will take you through some of the most beautiful scenery on the West Coast. You will experience the majesty of the Redwoods with a look at the Avenue of the Giants and the foggy crossing of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. You will be able to move through towns like Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz, travel along Cannery Row in Monterey, climb to Big Sur, and our last stop in Morro Bay. The average was around 60 miles per day with no rain for 12 days, in May! You will be greeted with a beautiful view, a climb, or wildflowers around each turn!
