Our Rides
If the WM ever passes within a day’s ride of your house, come out and join us.
The ride follows byways between intentional communities and musical events growing in size as it goes. Some riders join us for a block, others for weeks. We ride casually, climbing in leisure and descending with passion.
From a summit lake to the downtown stage, we spice the route with tours of community projects, botanical gardens, and sea cliffs. Sometimes it’s just you and nature doing her thing.
Along the way we eat locally as we rest over at farms, vineyards, hot springs, healing centers, and in backyard sanctuaries. We enjoy the home brew, turn vistas into concerts, rivers into folklore, and strangers into comrades.
The WM is a venue. We invite our riders to perform, share skills, and stretch the possibilities of what can happen on a bike ride. We are putting film students on bikes with musicians, chefs beside yoga instructors, bicycle commuters with seasoned road dogs, teachers and students with journalists, naturalists and photographers with farmers, and you among it all.
The WM is a destination to catch and a vacation from everything.
What’s Next?
The Slow Coast Tour
Our next tour will be a three day epiphany through the sweet sweet lands between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz. We’ll be visiting and staying with some of the country’s most progressive sustainable farms, dairies, and ranches.

Spring Sojourn Route Map
Student leaders, activists, educators, and artists of all stripes are encouraged to attend. This is our offering to riders new to touring. We welcome you to a different quality of leisure and excitement.
On the first leg, WM is hosting a delegation of student leaders between Butte College, Chico State, and University of the Pacific. This event will bring together both universities and their colleges of Business, Agriculture, Humanities, and Natural Sciences, with graduate students, professors, and members of the Chico community.
This “rolling summit” will focus on water and food issues of the Sacramento valley while looking at community solutions along the way. We will follow the Sacramento River until we meet up with the American River near the capitol and turn south to head into the Sacramento-San Joaquin River delta region.
Along our way we will roll in the usual Wheeled Migration style with music, networking, feasting, skill sharing, and our mobile gift community. The tour will wrap up in Stockton with a student convergence on the UOP campus.
Tour tickets include the use of an MSR whisperlite camp stove, and a heap of other goodies.
The second leg will be an informal after party tour. Wednesday morning we set off to the south-east and the Yosemite valley. People will hop on and off along our way and a whole different ride will emerge. Of course we’ll still be around to keep you tuned up but this is where we lay back, let our hair down, and ride!
