Pedal for a cure along California's stunning Pacific Coast!
Bike MS: Bay to Bay 2025 is a two-day cycling fundraiser organized by the National MS Society, taking place on October 18–19, 2025, along California’s iconic Pacific Coast. Riders of all ability levels can select from multiple route options, tracing scenic paved roads from Irvine to San Diego, with an overnight celebration at the Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa. All proceeds support life-changing research and services for people living with multiple sclerosis. The event features supported rest stops, mechanical assistance, festive finish-line parties, and a minimum $400 fundraising commitment. Whether you ride 25 or 100 miles—or something in between—you’re part of a passionate community pedaling for a world free of MS.
