Sierra to the Sea is a scenic and challenging 8-day bicycle and camping tour through Northern California, June 18 to 25, 2005. Starting in the historic Mother Lode country of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the tour traverses the Sacramento and Napa Valleys, passes down the Pacific Coast, crosses the Golden Gate Bridge and concludes at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

The basic tour route is approximately 420 miles long and averages 60 miles per day for each of seven cycling days. It is challenging and designed for experienced riders. Some less strenuous route options are provided, as well as options for riders who wish greater challenges.

Sierra to the Sea is organized by the Almaden Cycle Touring Club of San Jose.
