50th Annual Christmas Bike Ride!!!

The 50th Anniversary of the Annual Christmas Bike Trip is scheduled for
December 26-31, 2006. Every year since 1956, bicyclists from all over
the country have participated in this unusual and challenging cycling
tradition. Organized by the San Diego Council of Hostelling
International USA, the Christmas Bike Trip features a 400-mile route
through the mountains, desert, and seacoast of Southern California. The
ride is a major fundraiser supporting the San Diego Councils' Youth
Education and Outreach programs.
Cyclists can join this Christmas tradition for $300 (Hostelling
International members) or $325 (includes a one year membership). The
fee includes two meals per day, modest indoor accommodations, sag wagon
support, gear transport, and a commemorative Christmas Bicycle Trip
T-shirt.
Hostelling International USA is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization
whose mission is "To help all, especially the young, gain a greater
understanding of the world and its peoples through hostelling." This
mission is accomplished by providing programs and inexpensive
accommodations designed to promote cultural understanding and global
awareness through travel and shared experiences. The San Diego Council
serves this mission by offering programs and accommodations in two
locations in San Diego.
