What cyclist wouldn’t enjoy the thrill of a challenging 300-foot
climb followed by an awe-inspiring descent? How about the fact
that they can do this on a world-renowned race track?
Monthly twilight rides allow cyclists to experience the
excitement of pedaling Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, an 11-turn,
2.238-mile course. The ride is highlighted by the legendary
Corkscrew turn that drops an equivalent of 5 1/2 stories. Rides
generally run from 5:30–7:30 p.m. (5-7 p.m. in the winter
months), and are open to all levels of cyclists. Helmets are
required and the cost is $10 per rider.
Each month is hosted by a different local bicycle club,
organization or business, some holding competitions such as time
trials or criterium races and many with off-track activities such
as barbecue dinners, costume contests and giveaways.
