2 About Waves to Wine ONE HUNDRED RIDES. ONE DESTINATION. A WORLD FREE OF MS. Now in its 31st year, Bike MS: Waves to Wine brings together individuals and teams of cyclists representing businesses, friends, clubs and community groups. Waves to Wine is an unforgettable two-day journey taking riders from San Francisco via Highway 1 into Sonoma County. This year 2,500 riders will enjoy some of the most picturesque sites Northern California has to offer: cycling across the Golden Gate Bridge, cruising along the California coastline, and pedaling through Sonoma county vineyards. We have route options for every level of cyclists, ranging from 40 to 175 miles. The fullysupported two-day ride includes rest-stops and mobile support, and an overnight celebration with catered meals and a jersey fashion show. Cyclists of all levels will enjoy this weekend and benefit from the experience the ride is both challenging and scenic and provides a great opportunity for employee involvement, team building in a group volunteer experience, training together for an event, developing new relationships, and the personal satisfaction of helping to create a world free of MS.
