2026-04-25 06:00 - 21:00, 2026-04-26 09:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Pinedorado Grounds, 950 Main Street, Cambria, 93428, United States
The Central Coast Classico makes its debut in Cambria April 24–26, 2026, as a new three-day, non-competitive cycling festival celebrating the breathtaking roads, gravel routes, and coastal beauty of California’s Central Coast.
This first-year event replaces the beloved Eroica California and carries forward its spirit while opening the doors to both vintage cycling purists and modern road and gravel riders.
No racing. No timing chips. No pressure. Just pure riding joy.
Riders will experience two scenic route options:
Jade Route – 38 Miles
A stunning coastal ride along iconic Highway 1 past Piedras Blancas Lighthouse. Ocean views, rolling terrain, sea breezes, and a relaxed beachside vibe.
Limestone Route – 75 Miles
A more adventurous backcountry route featuring gravel segments, spirited climbs, and vineyard-lined stretches through the rugged Coastal Range.
Both routes include:

Fully supported food and hydration stops
Mechanical aid stations
Sweeper vehicle support
Rest facilities along the course

Vintage riders are encouraged to bring pre-1988 steel bicycles to honor cycling heritage, while modern road and gravel riders are equally welcome

The Cambria Farmers Market is one of those places where Cambria truly shows itself.
Hosted every Friday by the Lions Club of Cambria, this long running market brings together farmers, food makers, and neighbors in the heart of town.
Visitors can browse stalls filled with seasonal produce, baked goods, honey, olive oil, freshly prepared foods, and other locally sourced favorites. The pace is relaxed, the conversations are genuine, and the sense of community is unmistakable.
In warmer months, the market stretches into the early evening. During the cooler season, it wraps up a bit earlier but keeps the same welcoming spirit. Whether you are visiting for the weekend or settling into local life, the Cambria Farmers Market is an easy and authentic way to feel connected.
