The California Girl Series – Active Lifestyle Events for Women

Bright and early at 8:00 am on Sunday March 13, women from all over Southern California – both avid and novice bicyclists alike – will participate in the forth annual Senorita Century & Rico Suave Challenge. The Senorita Century is the first event in the California Girl Series® which includes four premium bike rides and two half marathons in iconic locations throughout California.

Long Beach, CA – January 25, 2016

Gentlemen riding as “Rico Suave” will line the red carpet starting area to cheer the ladies off before beginning the ride from Lakehouse Hotel & Resort in San Marcos, San Diego County. The 70 or 50 mile course options wind through hills and vineyards to the beautiful So Cal coastline and famed Pacific Coast Highway, experiencing chic- chic towns of Solana Beach, Encinitas, and Carlsbad before heading back inland to the finish line and resort style celebration party.

This boutique-style event offers gourmet rest stops catered by local chefs bringing fresh, locally sourced food to riders, while providing a sustainable, low waste event. The courses are easy to challenging, designed by the event organizer so host cities can showcase their bike-infrastructure which allows women to feel safe and confident while cycling.

Individual tickets for the Senorita Century are $125 per person, with special prices for early registration and groups. Online registration is available now at www.CaliforniaGirlSeries.com
