Bikepacking Catalina Island: 2 Days, 1 Night, 65 Miles of California Adventure

Catalina Island is maybe the best weekend bike adventure you can take in Southern California. Join the ride on a two day, one night. 65 mile bikepacking adventure across the island. We spot bison (bison!?), swim in crystal clear water, and tackle over 7000 feet of elevation. Catalina is just an hour-and-a-half ferry ride from Long Beach, but it feels like another world.
