Pro Cycling training and home to the Tour of California Time Trial
One part wine country. One part Danish culture. All parts epic cycling. Solvang is just another stop in wine country to most California tourists, but to cyclists, it's something special. It hosted a time trial for the Tour of California multiple years since 2007. It's the basecamp for pro teams in the spring who want to train in the United States. And it's a great place to boost your fitness with a climb up Mt. Figueroa or spin through Foxen Canyon. Of course, you can’t leave without sampling a wine or two, and maybe a taste of Abelskiver, the local Danish pastry. This is a vacation, after all.
